It should work. I'm presuming that you've changed your sendmail.cf before,
and that you restart/signalled/refroze as appropriate. Now some comments:
o UUNET does not provide a uucp gateway service for the general public;
they run it for their customers. This means you can/may/will be shut
off at any time.
o A more common method to handle this is to find a well-connected uucp site
in your area, and ask them if they'll handle your uucp traffic. I'd
check with your network provider and go from there..
o If you must "drop" your mail off on another site, make sure you choose
one which wants mail connections. uunet.uu.net doesn't, it has explicit
MX records directing connections elsewhere.
