It is difficult to be sure about the problem without seeing your sendmail.cf
file. First off how did you form the outbound To: address when you sent this
to uunet? It might be useful for you to look at the uucp command and data
files before uuxqt processes them. But...

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I suspect that you should look at what sendmail will do with the address
above (using address test mode) since this is clearly resolving to the
uucp mailer, and obviously it shouldn't. Ruleset 3 should convert this
to look like "markw@kepler.wg.waii.com" and hand it off to Ruleset 6
which should detect that its in your local domain, at least this is the
way my cf rule flow works. Anyway, if you still are stuck send me some
email at my locus address including your cf file and I will see what I
can do. Good luck!
