You're trying to blame uunet for an administrative problem local to
your host, something over which uunet has, presumably, no control.  uunet
shouldn't be hacking your mail addresses for you, anyway; you should.
Whether you like the SCO mailer or not (or perhaps the issue is whether
you understand it or not), uunet isn't the source of the problem.  Either
the mailer on tygra is, or its documentation (...or you are, possibly, which
is no slur on you.  Mailers aren't generally noted for wonderful docs when
it comes to configuring them...but people that run them *are* responsible
to look through what's there)
