My setup: 4.3BSD w/NFS (Mt. Xinu) UNIX, sendmail 5.59 with IDA 1.2.

What I'm doing: A fellow is preparing to join the .us domain, and has asked
me to be his MX forwarder.  I can handle adding the proper MX entry to my
DNS info.

My question: how do I configure sendmail to recognize mail to his .us
address, convert it to his UUCP address, and send it off?

I'm a novice at configuring sendmail, so please go gentle with me.  :-)

Please email any help or tips, I'll post a summary if asked.  Thanks
in advance.

Tim
