My O/S configuration is probably not the same as yours (I run FreeBSD
-current) but, with sendmail 8.6.12, I highly recommend that you use the
"m4" files to generate sendmail.cf .. it works and it's comprehensible (for
a nice change :-)).

I created an ".mc" file (in sendmail/cf/cf) containing ..

 .. now you probably may not need procmail but you can probably prune it
down from there. With Taylor UUCP, you MUST have config files (/etc/uucp/sys
in particular) that matches sendmail or else _strange_ things start to
