This probably has been asked and answered before, so I apologize in advance:

(OS 4.51)
1.
We have uucp link to internet site (say, 'intsite' in /usr/lib/uucp). In
order to send mail out, 'mailx intsite!inter.net.address!user' is used.
(/usr/lib/sendmail.ok is removed so all '!' addresses go uucp way).

I would like to mailx (NOT mail) using 'mailx user@inter.net.address' .
What do I put in .../cf/sitedep (or edit sendmail.cf) so that sendmail
calls uucp to route mail via intsite ? (I do not care about local
(intra-ethernet) mail. )

2.
We also run SLIP over dialed line (yes, it can be done contrary to what
MIPS support says). I did not manage to persuade local net software to
use nameserver on the other side ('nameserver ##.##.##.##' in
/etc/resolv.conf did not help) so I have to use numbers for ftp, telnet
etc. instead of names. Any ideas ?
