No. Most likely what you are seeing [now, your return address has improved] is MUA's using the envelope return address rather that the From: or Reply-To: This is broken behaviour. I feed a few UUCP sites and we get bounces directed to uucp (bad MTA config) and replies to uucp (broken MUAs). The MTAs outnumber the MUAs, but both are a very, very small percentage of our UUCP traffic. I did not have to alter your address to make this reply, I did, however, have to fix the Cc: line.
