You are probably better off by using one of the UUCP domain-oriented
mailers, and solving the problem in the general case, rather than
hacking specific entries into sendmail.cf as the need arises.

There are several, all available from your nearest mod.sources
archive:
	smail
	uumail
	elm (technically a user agent, but it will route things)
	the UK sendmail/domain package
	the GaTech sendmail and UUCP routing package
