   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
   Sendmail gives it to uucp to deal with (because of the '!') and uucp barfs 

Try this:

CUvmssite1 vmssite2 OtherNonUucpSitesWhichCanPostNews

R$=U!$+			$2@$1		Fake UUCP: it's really an SMTP site

Stuff it in just before the generic ! detector.  Personally, I'd do it
in S0, for delivery only, rather than hacking the header in S3, thus
preserving the syntax used there.  But that might not be optimal -
your mileage will vary.

If the class U gets too large, you probably want to put it in a file
instead, and use FU rather than CU.
