Will,

I'm anything but a mail guru - but I know this *can* be done. 
We're doing it here regularly on our SCO Unix system.  The mailer is
mmdf which supports this type of thing automatically.  It defines
SMTP and UUCP as channels, and then routes the message via SMTP to our
central UUCP server.

If you have specific questions about our setup, or want to talk to one
of our gurus, send me some email.
