If you could modify it so that it prints a sexp, it would be easier to
read it in emacs.

    (("abc" "@" "example" "com")
     ("def" "@" "example" "com"))

you could then just use:

    (with-current-buffer buf
       (goto-char (point-min))
       (read buf))

How do you separate email addresses then?
