If there's a sendmail.cf hacker out there ... please give
me a hand! This sendmail.cf file I've got is almost perfect.
If the host name appears in /etc/hosts, it directly connects
to the machine and sends the mail, else it forwards it to
a specified relay machine to see if it can figure out the
name. It seems to have problems with mixed uucp/internet
addresses, though. I send messages to the two addresses
below, and the first one is ok, the second one fails.

This was sent to the address:

If anyone can give me a hand in patching this thing to
recognize both forms of the address, I will gladly send
this sendmail.cf file to anyone who wants it. These
things are almost impossible to write on your own!!!
