Then take those sites out of your L.sys file, since uux shouldn'y
legitimately be allowed to queue for them.  smail is merely showing
up a problem with your system, not introducing a new bug.
We had exactly the same problem and I cleaned up our L.sys somewhat.

(Actually, because of the overhead we don't invoke smail unless
we need it.  We stick with the old v7 rmail for forwarding
mail; but I modified rmail so that if the uux fails, it shovels
the message down to smail -R which then gets it right. Plus it
sends a copy to me just in case smail didn't get it right.)
