All,

I'm not that hot on sendmail but I do know enough to know that 
it can do strange and wonderful things if you speak to it nicely
via sendmail.cf.  I'm hoping some gurus out there know how to 
whisper in it's ear.


My problem:

I have a _bunch_ of sites that are connected via TCP/IP and
a few that are connected via UUCP.

I've been made to create an alias file shch that a person can
say:

	mail user

and that will expand to:

	user@host

All is well so far.  Now, it would be very nice if I can extend that 
(where appropriate) to be:

	user@relay!host

where "relay" is a TCP/IP host and "host" is a UUCP host.

If someone knows how to do this, so much the better.  If someone knows
of a good reference on sendmail that'd work too.  

Thanks in advance.  I'll summerize all responses.
