	I have recently been setting up UK 2.1 here at UniSoft as a multihost
site and have run into a strange problem.

	The domain name is unisoft.com and the local channel file for all
hosts looks like:

		unisoft
		unisoft.com
		LHOST.unisoft
		LHOST.unisoft.com
	
	If I mail to user@unisoft, user@unisoft.com, user@<local system>, or
user@<local system>.unisoft.com everything is fine, but if someone mails to
user@<local system>.unisoft which I understand to be a legal address the mailer
give the "Local Domain Unknown" error.

ADDRESS TEST MODE
Enter <ruleset> <address>

rewrite: ruleset 16 returns: "<" "user" "%" "plover" "." "unisoft" "." "unisoft" "." "com" "@" "unisoft" "." "com" ">" "error"
rewrite: ruleset  0 returns: $# "error" $: "Local" "Domain" "Unknown"

	All of the full domain names like plover.unisoft.com are listed in the ether
channel tables which is also included as a domain table as per the examples supplied.

	At the moment I edit the config file after creation and put a rule into
the top of ruleset 10 to map $*unisoft to $1unisoft.com, but I'd be grateful for
any hints on how to make this happen for me.
