On our system, I went back to the old db setup for localnames (single
column sorted list, used primarily as an ALIAS catcher) and used the old 
Toronto version relation in standard.cf:

# We do local delivery, more or less, of mail arriving for these hostnames
# ***NB*** note : this is the old behavior of localnames pre 2.98
#                 does not do any rewrite on addresses
# used to force local delivery on special domains which aren't part of
# the canonical form (we don't want them to appear as such)
# -jmack Jan/95
if [ -f $MAILVAR/db/localnames ]; then
        relation -lt unordered -f $MAILVAR/db/localnames -d pathalias -b thishost

It was a necessary condition of my site's required behavior, so if you 
have to have both, you probably want to run 2 zmailer machines to separate
the localname functions, and send everything you do want canonicalized to
the second machine.

The old behavior is what I wanted, and it's what I now thankfully get 
with 2.99.10
