Thank you!

Sorry if I did not follow your answer, but my question is not about adding or using aliases, I know how to do that, but how to automagically add a proper domain name to some userid while sending email.


As I mentioned if I type joe in the To: prompt, it expands to joe at localhost. I want this to expand to a detailed joe at yahoo.com (where that @yahoo.com is added by default since i do not have joe as an alias in my address book.). 

Does this clarify?
