    It would have to query the local user database to make sure that jdeo is not a local user before warning. I think this would require some hacking of the source. I believe that mutt just checks whether the name is an existing alias, and if not, it tags on the local domain name (if use_domain is set) unless the given name already contains an @.

  • @Kusalananda: Thanks for the feedback! The thing is, in my use case, I never want to refer to local users when writing mail, so I don't want mutt to look up anything. I want it to fail noisily if there is no @ and the name is not an existing alias, even if the name is a local user or anything else. Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 21:55
