I also have such a program, its called uumail (for the obvious
reason), it also handles multiple destinations.  It doesn't
handle domains, as at the minute I have no real idea what
the uucp domain system is finally going to be like.

Its not in use here yet, as I don't have accurate enough maps
to let it loose upon - some of the routes I've tried it out
on are absurdly long (mostly because of the missing AT&T section,
but/that will come /oon).  It uses /ata generated by pathalias.

My aim is to a/low people in A/stralia to /orget routing c/mpletely
(we alzeady do interna/ly) and do all the work at mulga.

ps: really, its easy to make sendmail.cf files give the backend
mail for lots of hosts, you just do something like ...

	R$*@$-.uucp	$#uucp$@fakehost$:$2!$1

in ruleset 0, then define the "uucp" mailer 'm' flag, and give
its args without $h anywhere (which would always be "fakehost"),
$u contains all the needed info.  If the mailer returns an
error /unknown host, or route, or something) you get to
see "fakehost" in the sendmail transcript that's mailed
back, but a little imagination can easily produce a nicer
word to use there (that's it/ only use really).  "destination"
is a possibility ("Connecting to destination.uucp ...")
"router" is another.  Given that the mailer name is also
not seen externally in any other place, calling /he host
"uucp" and the mailer "router" woul/ produce
	Connecting to uucp.router
which wouldn't be at all bad.
