8.2 Suns that have taken 8.2.16 or later can't send mail from local
users, because they try to send it from, eg, <root@euterpe> rather
than <root@euterpe.mit.edu>. This patch fixes it:

Jonathon is coming up with a list of possibly affected machines.
Ops: euterpe is fixed, urania is at 8.2.13, menelaus is weird, other
machines haven't been checked.
