mailx Question

I am using mailx command. It works fine. And the receiver gets 'From' information as MySelf@Sent_server. This 'Sent_server' is picked up from /etc/hosts - third alias for loghost (dev.abc.ltd). The entry is as under

Code:
11.22.33.44 dev_sys dev_system dev.abc.ltd loghost

The issue is that is there any way this From server can show IP address? Like spatel@11.22.33.44 (instead of spatel@dev.abc.ltd)?

Thanks
