Thank you for the suggestion. However, adding another layer of proxying
for something so small seems like a bad idea. I'm currently using a SQL
lookup to decide which requests are handled locally and which are
proxied to the existing ("legacy") system that I'm migrating away from.
I have this SQL lookup doing double-duty and adding the default domain
if necessary.

However, once the migration is complete, I won't need the proxy lookup
anymore, so I'll want to get rid of the SQL overhead.

A default domain configuration option is common in other mail servers,
and very useful, so I'd like to see this in Dovecot as well. I could try
to code it myself, if someone could steer me to roughly the right
section of code.

Thanks,
Richard
