Having sendmail call smail can cause odd things, because smail is agressively
UUCP-oriented.  The solution I use on our system (which also has only one
UUCP link to a smart host [uunet]) is to have sendmail queue up the uux job
directly, bypassing smail completely for outgoing mail.

Here's the definition of the UUCP mailer from my sendmail.cf file:

Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=sDFMhu, S=10, R=23, A=uux - -r $h!rmail ($u)

Seems to work great, and it's less filling than regular smail :-).
