I assume that by ">From" you really mean the "From_" (_ == space) line
line that is the UUCP "envelope"?  Ouch.  Don't count on that.  Count
on the From: line.  Sites are much more likely to leave that alone,
and have it a correct domain address, then they are the From_ line,
which is usually mangled by every UUCP site along the way, but not
all of them....
