  The current implementation of CSSMTP expects the creator of
  the spool job to fully qualify the host.domain string on the
  MAIL FROM SMTP command.

Problem conclusion

• The implementation of CSSMTP was changed to check the
  MAIL FROM (SMTP) command for a fully qualified host.domain
  string after the "@" symbol. If the string is not fully
  qualified then CSSMTP appends the local domain name it
  retrieves from the system resolver to the host name.
