Help!!  Our site has lately registered into a domain and I need to
configure sendmail to handle the new domain properly.  This is 
somewhat confusing as we only connect via UUCP to our forwarder
which is UUNET.  I have RTFM, ( what little I could find ) and 
am really stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The background information is: we are running a local 
network connected by ethernet, running Ultrix 2.3 and 3.1.
I am using the sendmail that comes with these distributions.
One machine on the network is the gate for all outside mail, 
done with UUCP. Its name is acd4.  One other machine name on the 
network is dev1, as an example.  Our domain name is acd.com.

As far as I can determine, ( please correct me if I'm wrong ),
I have two things to change.  First, outgoing mail needs to be
changed to a "From: user@host.acd.com" type of style.  Second, the
incoming mail needs to recognize several forms of addresses.

   1.  user@host.acd.com - where host is acd4 or some other local
       host on our network.
   2.  user@acd.com - should default to acd4, the gate machine??
   3.  uunet!acd4!user - normal uucp style address.
   4.  uunet!acd.com!user - uucp style, default to acd4?
   5.  uunet!host.acd.com!user - uucp style, forwarded to appropriate
       local host.

I've tried to modify the sendmail.cf file and so far I can only get
the incoming mail to recognize examples 2, 3, and 4 above.  Outgoing
mail still sends our address as "user@acd4.UUCP".  Thanks in advance
to any who might be able to lend some sendmail.cf guru experience.
