This is probably an FAQ, and I am sure I read somewhere how to do this easily,
but I thought I'd ask anyway ....

I have an Internet style mailing setup with minimal mods to sendmail.cf and
using the MX version of sendmail under SunOs 4.1.2.

I don't have uucp set up, and whenever mail inadvertantly gets directed to
a uucp style address I get the following sort of thing ...

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
Cannot exec '/usr/bin/uux' errno=13
554 site!name... Service unavailable

This is not surprising, reading throught the rules in sendmail.cf.

Now I gather that if I could make sendmail forward all such messages to a
site that can do uucp stuff, eg. munnari.oz.au, by mapping the address to
something like "site!name@uucp.munnari.oz.au" then I am set.

I presume there is a "standard" way to do this with the sendmail.cf that is
supplied by Sun ... I am loathe to go hacking at it myself in an uninformed
fashion !
