I also use UUCP. But: when I'm occasionally connected using PPP then
you *do* see a DNS lookup and a direct SMTP to the outside world when
sending mail. If PPP is down everything goes into the uucp queue as 
planned. The FEATURE(nodns) therefore does not eliminate DNS lookups
altogether which is probably what Thomas expects (and I agree I suppose)
