My system is an IBM-RT running AIX 2.2 with Sendmail 4.03.  We are 
connected to several uucp sites.  We also are connected to a small 
internet.  One of the internet sites is bringing up ANU News under VMS.

My problem is that if a user on the VMS site posts a message to some 
newsgroup, the return path the rest of the world sees is:

	uucpsite!matrox!vmssite!user

Once the message gets to me, mail tries to send the message to vmssite!user.
Sendmail gives it to uucp to deal with (because of the '!') and uucp barfs 
saying it doesn't know about vmssite.  

I can't just change the rules dealing with '!'s because there are serveral
other sites I feed mail to and fro via uucp.  The vmssite doesn't have a
uucp deamon or any other way to deal with uucp.

Can Sendmail do what I need?  (i.e. for selected sites rewrite site!user
                              to user@site but for others leave it alone.)
How do I get Sendmail to do this?

thanks in advance,
