Subject: address re-writing in smail 3.1.18

I have been informed by my mail forwarding site that my smail isn't
writing address headers correctly.  For example, if I send something
to user@site, it goes out like that ... and that is an incomplete
address (it should be user@site.domain).

Since I am a UUCP site (with a FQDN), I guess I should rewrite user@host
addresses as user@host.uucp, bouncing incomplete addresses back to the
sender.  An alternative would be to re-write the incomplete addresses as
host!user.

How is this done in smail 3.1?  What are those of you running smail 3.1
on uucp sites doing to make sure you transmit only valid addresses?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
