My apologies if this is not a sup question. But I feel like this used to
work in pine ... My putmail config has server = server1.lanl.gov which
works for sending mail. However, if I just send to an address without
a domain attached (e.g. to johnbent instead of to johnbent at lanl.gov), then
I get a bounce from server1.lanl.gov saying "there is no
johnbent at server1.lanl.gov." Is there some way to config sup (or the rest of
my email infrastructure) to teach it a particular default email address?
Thanks,
John

You can certainly add an entry to contacts.txt (either manually, or by
highlighting the desired email address in Sup and hitting "i") with
"johnbent" as an alias name for the full email address. Then Sup will do
the expansion for you when you compose a message.
To have this happen strictly at the level of the email address, I think
it would be a SMTP server configuration issue. That's the point at which
the email addresses get interpreted, at least for the purposes of
finding a recipient. But I ain't an MTA expert.
