   Help!!  Our site has lately registered into a domain

Thank you!

   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.

Well, I'll give it a shot...

   ...outgoing mail needs to be
   changed to a "From: user@host.acd.com" type of style.

Start by defining a macro for your domain:

DDads.com

Then try (from my sendmail.cf):

## CONFIG HERE
## Pick one of the next 3 lines, based on your syntactic preference.
## 1: "From: joe@host.domain (Joe Random)"
## 2: "From: Joe Random <joe@host.domain>"
## 3: "From: joe@host.domain" (appropriate with full names: joe_random@...)
#Dq$g$?x ($x)$.
Dq$?x$x $.<$g>
#Dq$g

$g is defined as "sender address relative to the recipient" in the
Sendmail Ops Guide.  My Dq's assume that your $j is set up right.  $j
is the proper FQDN of your host, e.g.:

## CONFIG HERE
## Pick one of the next 2 lines, based on whether your
## hostname canonicalizes to a long, domainified name or not.
Dj$w
#Dj$w.$D

Your address forms to be recognized can be dealt with in S0 without
much difficulty.

      1.  user@host.acd.com - where host is acd4 or some other local
	  host on our network.
R$-<@$j>		$#local$:$1		acd4.acd.com -- local user
R$-<@$+.$D>		$#tcp$@$2$:$1@$2.$D	Local network delivery
      2.  user@acd.com - should default to acd4, the gate machine??
R$-<@$D>		$#local$:$1		Local user in top domain
      3.  uunet!acd4!user - normal uucp style address.
(I dislike hardcoding machine names into .cf, but...)
Ruunet!acd4!$-		$#local$:$1		Local user via UUCP name
      4.  uunet!acd.com!user - uucp style, default to acd4?
Ruunet!$D!$-		$#local$:$1		Local user via UUCP & domain
      5.  uunet!host.acd.com!user - uucp style, forwarded to appropriate
	  local host.
Ruunet!$+.$D!$-		$#tcp$@$1$:$2@$1.$D	UUCP format to local network
