The changes to sendmail.cf, which I would make under ruleset 0, is
probably not the best orute to go.  I'd suggest waiting a little bit
for the enxt version of smail to be posted to mod.sources.  This -- I
am told -- will have an option for sites that do not want/need to keep
an entire uucp/domain database around.  This would be your best bet,
in my opinion.
