I just finished doing a fresh install of Interactive UNIX on a new system, and encountered an odd error message. I'm planning to call ISC on it in the morning, but wondered if any of you might know the answer. In attempting to send a mail message to any uucp destination, sendmail reports the error: No ! in UUCP! (root) This error appears every time with the 2.2 sendmail. I copied the 2.0.2 sendmail over and the problem disappeared. Any clues?

(root) This happens when sendmail tries to generate a UUCP-style mail header line: "From <user> <date> remote from <host>" (see the 'U' flag in the mailer program description). Under this condition, sendmail wants an address of the form: <host!user>. Your configuration file probably produces the form: <user@host>. I ran into the same problem when I needed both From_ lines and <user@host> in locally delivered mail, and had to change two lines in some old sendmail source.
