sendmail for UUCP

Has anyone gotten their sendmail file to work for a uucp machine?  e.g., I
have a uucp feed which my machine polls every now and then.  Incoming mail
has the 'From ' line correct (uucp-host!internet.host!userid) but the From:
line, which is what governs replies, is always userid@internet.host, which
just doesn't cut it for me.

Incoming mail comes from internet.host!userid (a la 'mailq' and the uucp
logs), no mention of the uucp-host, but rules S3 and S6 convert it back to
the valid Internet mail address.  I'm using the equivalent of
sendmail.subsidiary.cf for this case.

Any help would be appreciated.  (I already tried sendmail 5.65IDA, couldn't
get that to work because it would always try to do a network domain name
lookup even though I had uucp everywhere in the config file.)
