Yes, you need to edit /etc/sendmail.cf, but it's a relatively easy edit.

Change these lines:

    # major relay mailer
    DMetherl

    # major relay host
    DRmailhost
    CRmailhost

To this:

    # major relay mailer
    DM uucp

    # major relay host
    DR your_uucp_neighbor
    CR your_uucp_neighbor

There's one other useful hack.  Find the line that looks like this:

    Muucp,        P=/usr/bin/uux, F=msDFMhuU, S=13, R=23,
          A=uux - -r $h!rmail ($u)

and get rid of the "-r " in the second line.  That will cause outgoing
UUCP mail to get tried right away, instead of just being put in the
outgoing queue.

I hope that helps.
