Install.mail links /bin/mail.new to /bin/mail and /bin/lmail.  For some
reason I've not spent any time trying to figure out, /bin/mail.new spits
out the wrong sender's address, either uucp or root, as you point out.
I've found two solutions: rm /bin/mail and /bin/lmail then link
/bin/mail.old to /bin/mail and /bin/lmail; or install smail from source
and link /bin/mail.old to /bin/lmail.
