Peter,
Actually, I'm not sure that it's quite right, but I'm fairly sure that it is
an improvement.
For example, my mail server is mail.devtech.com. But the postmaster is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (actually, postmaster@any-local-domain). I don't
really want mail.devtech.com listed in the configuration as a domain for
which I receive e-mail, but if I don't then with the proposed default,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], won't be recognized as local. You see my
point?
But that's a more advanced configuration. I think that the proposed change
is still better than @localhost.

Noel et al,
I definitely like this change.
