That is what things like sendmail's rewrite rules and tables are for.

| A domain-literal need not be a FQDN, it can also be a domain name.
| For example, uni-dortmund.de is a possible domain-literal, even though
| there is no such host.

A domain name is by its nature fully qualified.

While I tend to be very strict when it comes to networking, doing it right
means that things are easier for everyone, not harder.  It is when things
are done wrong that life is made difficult for some people.
