Postfix does not support 'bare' addresses, because they are ambiguous,
especially when folks like you want them to mean different things
for a sender or recipent. Not gonna happen.
You could however do this on the end systems:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
myorigin = $myhostname
virtual_alias_maps = inline:{@$myhostname=@example.com}
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
myorigin = $myhostname
recipient_canonical_maps = inline:{@$myhostname=@example.com}
Both will use bare-sen...@host.example.com as sender, and
bare-recipi...@example.com as recipient.
The second form will also rewrite recipients in the message header.
