Neither is a fully-qualified domain name.  Courier requires fully-qualified 
domain names in all cases. 

When you do not specify a recipient's domain name, it defaults to the system 
hostname.  Your system hostname is probably set to 'nuts', without a TLD. 

You may explicitly configure the system hostname by installing the 'me' 
configuration file.

You will find a description of all the configuration files in the courier(8) 
man page, or if you prefer HTML, in /usr/share/doc/courier*/courier.html.  
Be sure to read the description of the 'me' configuration file, notably what 
must be done after changing it.
