mailer problem

I seem to have a problem with my mailer, and would appreciate
some help.

First of all, I'm running ISC (Unix System V, Release 3.2).
The situation is as follows:  The name of my machine is
jgaltstl. As you should be able to see in the header of this
message, the Message-Id should show me as jgaltstl.UUCP. Okay, so
far.

However, when I send a mail message (mailx), the Message-Id 
truncates the 'stl' part of my machine name. For instance,
I looked at a recent mail message, which had the following id:

	9002110121.AA04037 at jgalt.UUCP

I believe this truncation is causing some problems, but I am not
sure. So, I really have two questions:

1) Why is this happening?

2) What is the fix?
