Subject: not a valid return address

I've installed v1.94.4 on Solaris v2.6, using Perl v5.003.
Everything seems to have installed fine. 
I'm trying to create my first mailing list, which I believe I've successfully
done. As a test, I tried sending a 'help' command to the list-request alias.
The result is appended below.
The problem seems to be that Majordomo doesn't like abbreviated email addresses.
For example, on the local net here, mail from user Foo on host Gads would
appear to come from user "foo@gads"; while outside the local net, it would 
appear as "foo@gads.eng.sun.com"- which is what Majordomo wants. (I think)

If I use a fully qualified address, the command goes thru fine, so the 
install is probably okay. (this isn't a workable solution though- I can't get
everyone at Sun to change their addresses! ;)

Any help appreciated.
