Without this option, the domain part of the recipient address will be replaced by the host specified as LUSER_RELAY. This feature only works if the hostname is passed to the mailer (see mailer triple in op.me). Note that in the default configuration the local mailer does not receive the hostname, i.e., the mailer triple has an empty hostname. 1) Are you interested in simple "a few line" patch of cf/m4/proto.m4 allowing LUSER_RELAY to use one domain for relay and another for "appending" to relayed email address?
