Need Strategy For Sending UUCP Mail On SMTP System

I need help understanding how to send UUCP mail from a system whose
mailer apparently doesn't look into the UUCP maps when it sends UUCP
mail.  What I'm looking for is some help from a mail guru out there 
to develop an algorithm that will convert the UUCP addresses into 
form that sends to an intermediate site via SMTP and then to the
destination site via UUCP.  If this is just not possible, so be it 
and please tell me that.  But if there is some way that 
I could look at a simple UUCP address of form SITE!USER and convert
this into something that would first send to a site, via SMTP, and then
to the UUCP site from that SMTP site.  In other words, I need a way
to 1) identify intermediate nodes that my site knows about and that
know about my destination, and 2) to identify the address format
for sending the mail out from my site.

Can someone give me some hints about some ways this might be done?

Thanks,
