Paul and I have subsequently exchanged email over this problem. The real
problem is that somehow a normal uucp style address is resolving to the
tcp mailer. SMTP has every right to complain about a uucp style address.
What I couldn't determine with what Paul gave me was why these addresses
were getting sent to the tcp mailer, but careful tracing through the
rulesets should show that.  I am still convinced its just a configuration
problem, not a broken sendmail.
