This was discussed on comp.mail.elm recently.

To sidestep the problem, comment out the #ifdef INTERNET ... #endif
on lines 341-346 in src/returnadd.c.

BE WARNED this will cause problems if your users select elm aliases
that clash with usernames - it seems mail will be expanded to the 
alias name rather than going to the local user.
