NeXT's uucp software reads the file /etc/uucp/UUCPNAME for local
system name, which need bear no relationship to the hostname.

That's controlled by the sendmail configuration; there's nothing
special about the NeXT in that regard, just that the Sun-derived
sendmail.cf may need a bit of "obvious" tweaking.  Ask in
comp.mail.sendmail if you need help in that department.
