Randy,
I was afraid that you'd get that answer. From what I have read on qmail's
archives, they don't think too highly of the folks at Stalker software.
If you put localhost back into the servernames set, it should allow these
e-mails to be processed.

AFAIK, RFC 2821 is the most recent that would effect that functionality.
Section 4.1.3 says "Sometimes a host is not known to the domain name system
and communication (and, in particular, communication to report and repair
the error) is blocked. To bypass this barrier a special literal form of the
address is allowed as an alternative to a domain name."
In any event, the MTA is delivering the e-mail based upon the
address-literal, so they are partially honoring it. The problem is that
they are also corrupting the address by removing the address-literal.

Noel,
This was the response I got from cgp-support.
Outlook Express won't even consider letting me send an email to a recipient
formed like cgp's suggestions. Their first suggestion is really stupid, if I
knew the domain name why would I want to add the IP?
*****************************
The address in "to" is never modified. But the address in the mail envelope
CAN be just "user", i.e. the @[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] can be cut off. If your
server has problems with that, use:
user@domainname@[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
or even
user@[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]@[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
