Because you may regret it later, unqualified addresses are implicitly qualified with $myorigin, which may or may not stay local in the future. Are you aliasing the user whose email address is "[email protected]", and whose mailbox may be subject to further independent rewriting/routing? [email protected] [email protected], ... Or are you aliasing the local mailbox of the Unix login account "user"? [email protected] u...@localhost, ... Or are you aliasing "user" in the default mail domain of the system ($myorigin), who would receive unqualified email sent by e.g. cron? [email protected] user, ... For lists, the first use-case is the most common. The 3rd use-case leads to surprises when $myorigin is changed to be non-local, but local delivery was intended (a mis-configured case 2). -- Viktor.
