  I've seen the same problem on ultrix 4.0, but did not see it with
equivalent (ie, identical save for comments) Ultrix 3.x sendmail.cf's... I
now get error Host <bozotron.uucp> not connected to caliban.ariel.yorku.ca
via uucp...


  I have 44 machines with working mail, but the next release fixes that (:-))
