More and more, I'm seeing UUCP mail going through my host of the format:

	uucp1!uucp2!uucp3!domain.name!user

Since we have both Internet and UUCP connections, what's the best way to 
handle this situtation if your host is capable of sending mail directly to 
'domain.name'?  Or should it be done?

We run sendmail with smail as a backend.  I don't see how the '-R' option
to smail would help since the pathalias database doesn't know about
all non-UUCP domains.

{I}relevant Information:
	Host:	Pyramid 98x running OSx4.4 (4.2/3 BSD derivative)
	Sendmail: Version 5.61 with IDA kit
	Misc:	bind 4.8

Thanks for any assistance.
