To avoid confusion and/or misconceptions, let me state right now:
I know that what I need to do is not SMTP-compliant, and in my
opinion courier-esmtpd is doing the perfectly right thing here.
(mostly because I'm a big courier-fanboy, using it since ca 8 years :)

Ok, here's my problem:
I've setup courier in a closed network (i.e. no connection to the
Internet whatsoever), as a replacement for a quite old postfix/cyrus
setup.
Within this network, there are many programs/scripts which need to
send mail to users, and do this using SMTP.
Problem: Those programs usually send
RCPT TO:<username>
instead of
RCPT TO:<username[at]domain>
(the former results in "513 Syntax error")

I'm fully aware that RFC2821 requires the latter syntax (apart
from mails to <postmaster>), but I need to cope with those erroneous
programs/scripts -- there are too many of them, written by too many
people, to just go and fix them.

So: Any hints how to do this? I wasn't able to find any config-option
for this, and I don't exactly feel like hacking around in the source...

tia,
