Right (although it also requires help from the server named in the MX
record - even if that server accepts mail, it doesn't necessarily
accept mail addressed to arbitrary domains). But who says I want to
receive such mail anyway? If all the addresses I use have
"@domain.com", then I can expect that no one will send mail addressed
to blah.domain.com, so I have no need to bother with extra MX records.

Gee, thanks for explaining.
I see nothing in 2822 to suggest that Sender should indicate the host
where a message originated. If you do, please point it out.

The string "prj@multivac" is generated by the grammar for "mailbox".
If the requirement for a FQDN is somewhere else, I missed it. And
actually, the grammar *prohibits* an absolute domain name as defined
by RFC 1034. Or did you mean something other than "absolute" by:
