It doesn't. Mungedomain (and indeed most of majordomo) assumes fully
qualified domain addresses.

Yup. change your sendmail.cf to always provide a FQDN for email addresses.

Nope. The restrict post files are handled by &addr_match (which is
where mungedomain is implemented), so it only handles real
addresses. There may be some changes in access list mechanisms in the
future, so I would expect that restrict_post will be folded into a
more general access mechanism.
