I am a sendmail novice.  I have sendmail running on our Sun Sparc 1+.
There are a couple of machines that people in our group send mail to
regularly that we need (at least it seems like we need) to route through
uunet.uu.net.  Is it possible/wise/a-good-idea to put a rule in the
sendmail.cf file to rewrite address of the form:
	someone@this.dang.machine.com

to be of the form:

	someone%this.dang.machine.com@uunet.uu.net

so that the users don't have to do their own routing like this?  Is there
a better solution to the problem?  It seems that, mostly, the machines
with a .com domain are the ones that sendmail has trouble handling without
sending it through uunet.  Could it be that some other problem is causing
this behavior?

Suggestions, insite and hand-holding are greatly appreciated.

Pax,
