In the outbound channel parameters, "ap=822, ap=try" will cause the channel to
add the local mail system domain name to a local-part-only address when mail is
transmitted via that channel. So, you'd probably want to set this in the "MCHN
smtp" record in mmdftailor. If you do this, you will probably want to also use
a current smtp inbound channel (smtpsrvr) and set "vrfy_sender_domain=1" in its
confstr, else the system will happily accept local-part-only mail from outside
and then add your own system's domain to it when it canonicalizes the headers.
