  I need to make a brief addendum to this. This assumes that you don't
list all your local machines in your uucp map. Otherwise the .uucp
address would still route to the local host (and fail, since smail
would try to invoke uux to it). Actually, all you have to do is follow
the official rules for map entries and just avoid listing any local hosts for
which there is a name conflict. The safest thing is to list none of them
unless it is a real uucp link (in which case you better NOT have
a name conflict!). As it happens, I do list a few of them, but only
for historical reasons (they were in my map entry when I inherited
it, and that entry was created before the days of smail).
