Hi Matthew,
Thank you very much for you input on this. I will spend the next few weeks
trying to get that going.
Unfortunately for me, I have another thread to start before I fix this one.

I can think of two obvious ways of doing it, both of which are quite
hackish.
The first is that in the aliasfile director you have a headers_add=
directive,
which you then check as a condition in the localuser director.
The second is to change the qualification domain to something non-dnsed,
then
include it in local_domains, and explicitly exclude it from every director
except the localuser one, which explicitly includes it.

Both of these have their problems, and you should know what these are.
In the first case, someone can always send an email to chris@mydomain by
adding the relevant header, though they have to know what it is. In the
second, locally generated mail will only go to the localuser unless fully
qualified to start with.
