sendmail.cf problems under Ultrix 3.0

    We have recently installed a DECStation 3100 with UWS 2.0/2.1 and Ultrix
3.0/3.1 running on it.  We were able to take the sendmail.cf file from our
VAX 11/780 (running Ultrix 2.0) and use it on the DECStation 3100, with only
changes to the name of the host itself.  We tried to run Ultrix 3.0 on the
VAX 11/780 using the identical sendmail.cf file that works under Ultrix 2.0,
and it hangs in local mail, as well as in trying sendmail -bt.  In both
cases, the command does nothing visible, and has to be aborted with a ^C.
If we use the generic 3.0 sendmail.cf, we can get local mail to work fine.
The problem is that we have such a complicated collection of networks and
special cases in the sendmail.cf, that we would like to carry it over to the
new system.  Has anyone come across this problem, or does anyone have any
suggestions?  All help is appreciated; thanks in advance.
