I have a Sun 3/60 acting as my mail/news host, with a Sun 3/80 running as
a seperate, stand-alone machine connected to the 3/60 via ethernet.

I use UUCP (via TCP) to handle mail and news transfers between both of my
machines and between my 3/60 and the machine that links me to the Internet
(normal UUCP) via the phone network.

What I want to do is dump UUCP for mail between my machines but still of
course keep it for talking to the outside world. I just want to use
whatever is normally used to send mail between sites via ethernet.

What I'm not sure about is how to configure the sendmail.cf file on this
machine so that it know what type of transport method to use depending on
where an item of mail is going. I'm using Sun's default sendmail, so
perhaps someone who's got experience with configuring sendmail to send to
different sites using different transport methods might be able to give
me some tips and/or advice?

Thanks in advance,

Craig.
