You certainly do not need the uucp software subset to do this.  
You just (just!?!) need to modify your sendmail.cf file.

In the ULTRIX sendmail.cf (ULTRIX 4.0 at least) there is only one
line that sends mail to the uucp mailer.  Change that to send it
to your forwarder (that will in turn send it out whereever it is
supposed to go).  You also should comment out all lines that
check  $~Z  -- there are only two and are in ruleset 0 (S0).
(Do *not*define FZ -- leave it commented out.)

Add a line at the beginning to define your uucp relay host
for example:

DZuucprelay.lbl.gov

Then in ruleset 0,  change

R$-!$+                  $#uucp$@$1$:$2                  host!...

To be

R$-!$+			$#tcp$@$Z$:$2!$1

Refreeze yor config file and restart sendmail.
