We can do soething similar in Postfix:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
sender_canonical_maps = inline:{{@localhost = @$myhostname}}
The downside of doing this is that the Postfix SMTP server will
accept mail from non-existent@localhost, so if you could make the
rule more specific (a collection of 1:1 mappings) then that would
help.
