I suspect that it is doable with some hacking to majordomo, but
even if your MTA accepts unqualified addresses (and fewer do as
time passes), you must remember that by the time majordomo gets
the mail messages, the From: lines have already been rewritten by
the MTA as fully qualified (unless you manage to do something really
strange with your MTA). So you would have to make majordomo remove
the local domain information from addresses as they come in.
My guess is that that could be done by modifying MD in one place,
but I would recommend against it. There are already too many clients
which pretent to talk SMTP but submit messages with unqualified address
and other illegal SMTP headers. MD doesn't talk SMTP, so it should
be "allowed" to do this. But I would discourage it.
