While there are problems with what you mention, I'm only asking that elm
fully qualify local addresses with the local site name.  This doesn't
require any lookup in a smail alias file - just appending thissite.domain
to anything not containing ! or @.

I've accomlished this here by modifying the elm sources to strip out
the To: and Cc: lines and letting smail put them back in.  It's not perfect
(Cc vs To: info is lost), but it's better than having mail go out with
"To: jon" header lines in it.
