I don't like making guesses on the domain name to add. Something that I
saw before in Cyrus, was to add "@unspecified-domain", which is rather
clear on what happened.

Or, you could refuse any mail with unqualified addresses. Qualified
addresses are required by RFC 821.

Sounds nasty. Might be better to do with filters. I believe filters
can originate new messages...
