I think this has been answered  -- but I'll throw my .02 in.

I haven't seen 2.2-BETA yet, but I believe 2.1.5's sendmail.cf didn't
have uucp support built in. So you'll have to make a new
sendmail.cf. (I'm assuming your connection is uucp only.)

cd to /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf and copy an appropriate *.mc file.
"generic-bsd4.4.mc" is probably OK. Add these lines:

	MAILER(uucp)dnl
	define(`SMART_HOST', uucp-dom:your.provider)dnl
	Cw localhost uucpname host.domain.name

Check the README -- there may be other options you want. Run it
through m4 to create a new sendmail.cf. Test it:

	sendmail -C /path/to/new.cf -bt <address>

and if it works -- install it and restart sendmail.

The SMART_HOST says, "If you don't know who this is for -- send it to
your provider using the uucp-dom mailer." 

Depending on your local network, you may want to add:

	FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl
	FEATURE(nodns)dnl

nocanonify says, "Don't monkey with the address." And nodns, I think,
is obvious.

Hope this helps.
