Package: msmtp
Version: 1.4.21-1

On Linux systems, system daemons often assume that they can send email
directly to users to $user without any domain.

Unfortunately this doesn't work with msmtp which passes the username as is
to the MTA.

Ideally there should be some way of either (depending on config):

1) adding a domain to any email addresses that don't have a domain
2) mapping any emails without a domain to an email address I have
configured.

Yes, I could also go through all my cron jobs and update them to have
MAILTO="..." however this is a tedious and potentially an error prone task.

(side note: I also saw this blog post which describes a way to hack msmtp to
get it to use aliases  -
