 Hi there. I'm working with a guy that I'm supplying with a UUCP feed,
to help him get his own domain set up. (The system's logsys .. we're
trying to set it up as logsys.com.) I've got all of the prerequisite
forms, and I can handle being the primary domain server for him
(probably just an MX record...we're still looking for a secondary
nearby [PA/MD/NJ] <hint hint>). The thing I can't figure out is this:
once I've got his domain in existance, how will my system know that
mail for logsys.com should go through uucp to him? (Rather than loop
forever on itself cuz of the MX record.) Is it something that has to
be hard-wired in my sendmail.cf, like define a new variable for the
"group" of sites [only one right now] that I feed?
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
