We are having trouble getting elm to process our most common return
address, which is in Internet form:  our only node is this machine,
dalcs, which is converting to the name cs.dal.ca, and my home machine,
biomel, exchanges a lot of mail just with this node.  Elm replies to
mail from dalcs!user correctly, but our mailer does not accept the form
cs.dal.ca!user, and we would like Elm to change this to user@cs.dal.ca
(which is then mapped by the domains file to dalcs!user@cs.dal.ca),
or simply dalcs!user (although the former address works fine).
Any ideas on how to do this without modifying the code and creating 
future maintenance headaches?

We have a direct path to cs.dal.ca in our pathalias database, and both
dalcs and cs.dal.ca are declared in L.sys and are returned by uuname.
