Or, configure the system /etc/resolv.conf to supply the local network
domain suffix(es) properly.

If your Squid is not using that correctly, please upgrade. They have all
done it for some years now.

There are a ot of mistakes in the above statement.
- *the* localhost is not the same as *a* local host (note the space).
- "mail" is not a domain name, it is a host name.

Squid attempts to lookup "mail" (which does not exist, then
mail.whatever, where whatever is the list of domain suffixes found in
the /etc/esolv.conf "domain" entry or "search" list.
