|Well basically the big problem I had was that if you sent a message

	I tried your example on my version of smail2.5,
	and it works correctly - the local host domain
	is indeed appended to the local hostname for
	the addressing case you mention.


	What I found was that in the "To:" line, the
	use of an address such as "user@system" would
	not be translated to "user@system.UUCP" (a
	dubious necessity in any case), but that
	"localuser" would be translated to
	"localuser@localsystem.localdomain".
