Are you saying that Smail 3.1 doesn't generate a From_ before passing
the message to uux? In that case you're wrong.

Here's a piece of /usr/lib/smail/transports:

# uux - deliver to the rmail program on a remote UUCP site
uux:	driver = pipe,
	uucp,				# use UUCP-style addressing forms
	from,				# supply a From_ envelope line
	max_addrs = 5,			# at most 5 addresses per invocation
	max_chars = 200;		# at most 200 chars of addresses

	# the -r flag prevents immediate delivery, parentheses around the
	# $user variable prevent special interpretation by uux.
	cmd = "/usr/bin/uux - -r $host!rmail $(($user)$)",
	umask = 0022,
	pipe_as_sender
