For those that would prefer UUCP when a site is on both, some massaging of the first part of the pathalias output might be in order. I imagine, though, that most Internet sites would prefer Internet, but would rather send mail that will eventually end up on UUCP themselves, rather than forwarding it to seismo. Maybe if the UUCP Project would put out a simple list of the second level domains that are registered with them and not on the Internet or csnet, in the form: ADELIE.COM AMD.COM ATT.COM ... VORTEX.COM it would be usable as a sendmail class.... (This would be especially good for those UUCP Zone domains that don't have an Internet forwarder!) I'd love to help, but as I'm not physically on the Internet....
