incorrect "From:"

I have just set up my system "jho" to talk to another 
system called "iex" through UUCP. My problem is when I
send out mail, the "From:" address appeared to be wrong.
It shows as 
	"From: iex!unix.iex.com!john@uunet.UU.NET (john)"
but I think the correct address should be.
	"From: iex!jho!john@uunet.UU.NET (john)"
Who is modifiying that address and how can I fix it?
