How in the bloody world do you set up a list of UUCP 'hosts' in order to send  
UUCP mail??  I'm currently on Internet, and trying to set up a UUCP local  
access port.  I have a netinfo network, and the one machine that has the modem  
can 'sometimes' mail to the uucp folks, but no other machine anywhere can reach  
them.  I try both the user@host.uucp and host!user form of address, but both  
fail.  I've studied the sendmail.cf file, and it seems to fail at the point of  
handing the mail off to UUCP.  I have nothing in netinfo for the uucp hosts  
(where?) and sop there's no surprise no other machines have heard of them.
I think I need a uucp `map' file installed somewhere, or something like it.

Any ideas at all?  I'm being embarrassed by an Amiga system that's doing all  
this without a hitch!

Thanks,
Jim
