It works just fine. :-) The issue I was alluding to was more along the
lines of a lot of admins expressing ire at programs that don't use MX
records. James does it properly.

If you look at the patch, you'll find that postmaster@localhost becomes the
ultimate fallback, so that was preserved. As stated in the comment:
// if there is no @domain part, then add the first one from the
// list of supported domains that isn't localhost. If that
// doesn't work, use the hostname, even if it is localhost.
So the code is biased towards a routable addresss, but it will still
fallback as necessary.
