To: header should be user@hostname (hostname from config), not just
unqualified user. That's because smarthost adds its hostname to unqualified
username, and we get confusion when reading the message.

Even worse - my Exim 4.5 smarthost passes such mails on without adding
its hostname to unqualified username, and then further hosts may well reject
the message because of broken header syntax.

ssmtp do the same...

Because a broken ssmtp.conf the MTA has forwarded my
"cron" messages send as root to my ISP root box...    :-/

They went several 1000' messages and it was my ISP who
has called me and told me about my misconfigured MTA.

Hello,

I created a patch that solves this problem. It does not simply append the
hostname to the To||Cc-Headers, but respects the RewriteDomain. If the
recipient is listed in /etc/ssmtp/revaliases, the alias address is used in
the To||Cc-Header.

Much of the patch code is taken from other functions in ssmtp.c.

Regards
  Christoph
