you have only given part of the address, so mutt assumes (aiui) the
mail is local and adds your local domain, which you have not changed
from the install default "localhost". If you want mail to "uunet" to
go to a particular address and it is not local, look up aliases in the
muttrc example and the manual/doc file.

You said that you wanted mutt to evaluate a 'folder-hook'.
'Folder-hooks' are evaluated based on the particular 'folder' that is
open. The script would have to put you into that folder (cd into it).
Call mutt with a script that passes it the values you wish. A
folder-hook may be unnecessary.

muttrc.
