We have a recurrent 'case of misconfiguration' resulting in the same
problem: addresses in the form <service@???> while all
'real addresses' only exist in <localpart@ourdomain>.
We try to solve it by rewriting from <whatever@$HOSTNAME.ourdomain> to <whatever+hostname@ourdomain>
so it 'becomes local'. them later by splitting the '+' we can re-gain the original address
(and inform the miscreant to fix the service ;-)
