Sorry, that was a typo on my part.

What I'm saying is that append_at_myorigin=no doesn't appear to
disable appending $myorigin to From: bare user names. Maybe it's not
supposed to? IOW,

mydomain = python.org
myorigin = $mydomain
append_at_myorigin = no

A message comes in with

    From: somebody

and that line gets rewritten to

    From: somebodypython.org

If append_at_myorigin=no is not supposed to disable that, then I don't
understand the trivial-rewrite(8) manpage.

Thanks,
