I am trying to send a letter to a UUCP-only machine from this machine
(beach.csulb.edu) that is on the Internet.  I know that the UUCP machine
"dest" exchanges mail with a machine "orange.bigcorp.com" that is on the
Internet.

What address do I use to get to dest!user via orange.bigcorp.com?

I have tried orange.bigcorp.com!dest!user (which RFC 976 says "class 3"
mailers are supposed to handle) and this got bounced back to me by the
local mailer (sendmail under ultrix 4.0 with a seemingly stock sendmail.cf
file).  The error was "unknown mailer error 101" and it came from uux.
The To: header had been re-written "dest!user@orange.bigcorp.com", which
looks seemingly ok, but obviously the wrong mailer was chosen since
I need to get it to bigcorp.com via STMP.

Am I overlooking something obvious, or maybe does our sendmail.cf file
need some tweaking?
