There is an option in the mailer definition (capital C, I think) in
sendmail.cf that specifies that all incomplete addresses should be completed
with the originators host.  Check the "Sendmail Configuration and Operation
Guide".  I've had bad experiences with this option, when placed in the wrong
place, and even worse luck with it's not there.

The UCB Mail has proven to mangle addresses when replying to addresses that
don't specify any host or domain and the sender's address has a host AND
domain.  For example, replies to mail From:  joe@foo.bar.edu, To: spam, and
Cc: frank will mangle spam and frank to look like "edu:spam@bar" and
"edu:frank@bar".  Mush doesn't exhibit this behaviour.
