bounces occur while your MTA is talking to the machine it is
delivering to. So it does the bounce and does it correctly to the
local machine. (at least with sendmail I assume smail is the same)
Heck I have sendmail on my machine translating both hostname and
usernames to different ones and there is no problem.
