I want to configure sendmail to send all user@system mail to a 
routing site via uucp for all systems that are not know to be
direct uucp or tcp connections.  

For example I want 
	joe@some.system.somewhere 
to send via uucp
	uunet!joe@some.system.somewhere

HOWEVER, the current sendmail file parses the above as
	(uunet!joe)@some.system.somewhere

Instead of 
	uunet!(joe@some.system.somewhere)

So, I guess this is actuall 2 problems.

1)	cause sendmail to forward via uucp any unknown addresss.

2)	convert precedence from    @! to !@

I have seen several responses that claim to answer #1 with
	"just change a few lines in sendmail.cf"
but WHICH LINES ???

I can live without #2 if I can get #1 to work.

Yes I am looking at smail, but I'd prefer a sendmail alternative.

I have RTFM'd to death, but I dont get it.

System:   	ISC 2.0.2	

Post or Email
Thank you.  I hope this is an OK newsgroup for this question
