We want >to route *only* mail destined for *.UUCP with pathalias. You don't specify much about your mail configuration and the transport mechanisms you have available to you. I hope I am interpreting your question correctly. My short answer is: Add another "mailer" definition to your sendmail.cf, and then just recognize user@site.UUCP and resolve it to that mailer. >Does anyone know of a convenient way to integrate them? Pathalias >produces a nice voluminous output file, but we would like to avoid >having to use smail, and we would like to route our outgoing UUCP >mail. Any suggestions? Why avoid using smail? We have a machine known as "ee.rochester.edu" on both the Internet and in the UUCP maps. We let this machine handle all the mail from within our domain in the following way. Any address with the right-hand side of an '@' that we can resolve gets mailed via SMTP. Mail of the form user@site.UUCP gets "smail'ed". We also recognize other forms such as user@site.UUNET and user@site.BITNET and others, in which case we see that the mail gets sent to the appropriate gateway for further handling. This is an extreme oversimplification of what is really happening, but it accomplishes exactly what we want. Might be what you want, too.
