	I was having multiple problems getting sendmail to work properly with 
the supplied sendmail.cf so I pulled the configuration file off of a Vaxstation 
II/GPX and it worked great ! Our mailers include the Apollo ring, a series of
Suns, HPs, IBM PC RTs, GPXs(Ultrix) and an Vax 8600 running Wollongong TCP/IP.
I'm using the GPX cf file on the Apollos and Suns with great success.  With a
little modification, I've got all systems sending UUCP mail over the Ethernet
to my HP which is my uunet connection and the HP automatically sends back over
the Ethernet any mail that it recognizes as a local TCP/IP host. With the
GPX config file, you can define trouble hosts to route around too. For example,
a bug in the HP's sendmail facility causes it to dump core and go "crazy"
whenever it trys to talk to the RT's SMTP.  So I told the HP to route any
request to the RT to the Sun first and the Sun delevers it.
	You could easily add these capabilities to the existing cf file or
write one from scratch, but the GPX configuration file has more included in
it than any other that I've seen.
