So your company's SMTP server simply doesn't accept unqualified destination
addresses?  Huh.  I'm assuming if you send to address@hidden (or whatever)
then it works?

Hrm ... do you compile with -DDUMB?  It looks after a quick look
at the code ... it should always insert whatever is returned by
LocalName() (which can be controlled by localname in mts.conf) _if_
it is NOT compiled with DUMB.  As for whether or not it _should_ do
that ... not really sure.

(Hm, it looks like DUMB is the default from config.h; so maybe turning
that off and recompiling would work?)
