Why do you think RFC822 has anything to do with it?

What does it mean to send Internet mail to a bare hostname?  I don't
think there's any standard which defines what should happen to that
mail.  As a hostname, a dotless name uses /etc/resolv.conf to get an
IP address, and it does so by either applying a fixed domain, or by
searching a list of domains, depending on how you've configured it.
