A couple of alternatives come to mind.

You could bring up smail, and pass off all of the uucp stuff to it.
It's a full-blown mailer, so there's a fair amount of overhead involved
in learning up, but they say it's pretty reasonable.

You could bring up uumail, a small mailer that only handles rewriting
of uucp mail.  It's more or less a drop-in replacement for your uux
mailer, and it does a reasonable job of adding pathalias lookups to
sendmail.  The lookups happen after everything is resolved, so your
flexibility is limited.

You could bring up the IDA patch kit to sendmail, which provides for
direct pathalias lookups within the sendmail.cf.  Several of my
neighbors run this, and they seem to like it.

You could bring up the 'uucpdomain' modifications to sendmail that
uunet runs, which provide a similar direct lookup facility.

I can't think of any other alternatives, if someone could come forward
with a different way of working this out (short of dropping sendmail
entirely and running upas, peter) I'd like to hear about it.

BTW, mailrus, umix, and sharkey all run uumail.  It handles well-formed
addresses quite nicely.
