Basically.
Pine figures that it can't trust /usr/lib/sendmail, so it appends
the host name to the mail address. But, fortunately, it gives you
the option of putting:
user-domain=mobiletones.com
in its config file.

Only if people use software which has been configured in a way which
appends pluto.office.mobiletones.com.
One thing people sometimes do for this is use a wildcard mx -- basically
saying that any mail for *.office.mobiletones.com is delivered to some
set of mail servers.
