Under 8.2, I can send a message to 'jhawk@mit' and
sendmail will DTRT. Under 8.3, this is not the case,
and I get a 'local configuration error' bounce (a bug
in of itself, perhaps, but it didn't happen under 8.2).
Example. Under 8.2:
/ [biohazard-cafe!jhawk] ~> echo foo | /usr/lib/sendmail -v jhawk@mit
/ jhawk@mit... Connecting to pacific-carrier-annex.mit.edu. via ether...
/ 220 MIT.EDU Sendmail 5.61/1.10 (MIT Mailhub) No collect or third-number calls at Tue, 25 May 99 14:22:20 EDT
/ >>> HELO biohazard-cafe.mit.edu
/ 250 MIT.EDU Hello biohazard-cafe.mit.edu, pleased to meet you
/ >>> MAIL From:<jhawk@MIT.EDU>
/ 250 <jhawk@MIT.EDU>... Sender ok
/ >>> RCPT To:<jhawk@mit>
/ 250 <jhawk@mit>... Recipient ok
/ >>> DATA
/ 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
/ >>> .
/ 250 Ok
/ jhawk@mit... Sent (Ok)
/ Closing connection to pacific-carrier-annex.mit.edu.
/ >>> QUIT
/ 221 MIT.EDU closing connection
Message arrives intact.
Under 8.3, however:
/ [contents-vnder-pressvre!jhawk] ~> echo bar | /usr/lib/sendmail -v jhawk@mit
/ jhawk@mit... Connecting to pacific-carrier-annex.mit.edu. via smtp...

and a bounce is produced:

While I don't this functonality is critical (I don't think I even
realized I addressed messages this way), fixing it would probably be
good, or elsewise a release note. I guess someone could ask the postmasters
to do a quick check to see how often this form of address has been used
in the currently available logs (5 days?).
