Perhaps it should qualify the headers as well? I'm sure the UUCP
community would find a "tidy up mail from UUCP before inserting into the
Internet" script a useful tool.

Even if it worked, it wouldn't be right, because of the queueing effect.

Changing headers at receipt time can only be achieved by rewriting
rules. Maybe you can write a clever rule along the lines of
^([^@]+)@([^\.]+)$ $1@${lookup{$2} ....
which matches addresses with single-component names, and looks up the
fqdn in a file.
