And if your user switches mail clients it may break as well. The username
addresses will be valid as long as the server can figure out where to
deliver it. It will assume the local machine if it is a bare name, if
there is no account locally it will likely forward it to its smart relay
host, possbly with its domain added.
I'm not saying it is good, but I have noticed that some users on my server
have been able to subscribe and get mail with unqualified addresses (eg
"dan" as the email address in the list file).
Remember that majordomo uses the return address field if it is avalible,
which is usually configurable on the client side.
