   Same goes with us.  I took a look at the (in my opinion quite weak)
   examples in arpaproto.cf and uucpproto.cf, put the two together and got
   something that was relatively stupid for both UUCP and TCP.

We have a similar need, for both SMTP and UUCP mail routing.  Apollo
says they do not provide anything that does both.  The DPSS to UNIX mail
translation rules are also overly simplistic.

Those wanting (needing) to play with the sendmail config files might
consider getting the 'ease' software that I believe comes from Emory
University and should be in the comp.sources.unix archives.  It lets you
write sendmail config files in a much more structured and readable
syntax; ease translates this into a sendmail.cf file.
