[I'm a novice sendmail configurer be gentle]

We've got a machine that needs to be able to talk staright old fashion uucp
to some machines and smtp to other machines.  The machine has a non-standard
implementation of sockets (EXOS) so for the time being I'd preferr to avoid
porting IDA if at all possible.

I installed sendmail, struggled with the configuration, and basically got it
working.  The one catch I had was that I had to link /bin/rmail to sendmail
to allow the uucp sites to mail to the smtp sites via the central machine.

Everything works fine, except that mail from the uucp sites to the smtp sites
comes through had being from uucp@gateway-site.  

Somebody must have done this before.  Any suggestions?
