How do I get sendmail to append my domain to my outgoing email address
even if the destination is another local user?

Example. My username is 'steve'. I want to mail to another user on the
FBSD machine who's username is 'bob'. So using berkely mail I just say
'mail bob' and proceed as
usual. However 'bob' downloads my email using POP3 and cannot reply to
'steve' because 'steve' is not an e-mail address (from the standpoint of
bob's SMTP server). I want the return address to read
'steve@mydomain.com'.

I realize we could just say this is a berkely mail quirk... but surely
there is an easy re-write rule to sendmail to guarantee the desired
results?
