Using mail under Irix 3.3

Since upgrading to Irix 3.3, I've been having a minor problem with
mail on my Personal Iris.  I've used both the sysV mailer /bin/mail
and the bsd mailer /usr/sbin/Mail and I see the same problem.  All
email queued for remote uucp sending, is tagged as being sent by
"daemon" and NOT the userid of the sender.  This isn't a real big
problem, but it is if you want to cancel the email.  I don't see the
problem when uucp'ing files, so I'm guessing that the problem is with
mail or sendmail.

When I do a uustat -a, the output looks like:

ki2N1685      10/03-17:07  S  ki2  daemon 302 D.ki56a086f
              10/03-17:07  S  ki2  daemon  rmail ki2!ki!dwatts


Has anyone else seen this problem?  Any ideas on where I should look
to find the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.
