yep, that part of the FAQ is in a sorry state and has been for some
time. Thanks for reminding us that it needs to be fixed.  Anyway, the
following .mc file should solve your problem:

VERSIONID(`nathan-3')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)

FEATURE(nocanonify)				<----
FEATURE(accept_unresolvable_domains)		<----
FEATURE(mailertable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable')
FEATURE(local_procmail)
define(`confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES')		<----
define(`confAUTO_REBUILD', `true')

define(`UUCP_RELAY', ruhr-nathan)
define(`UUCP_MAX_SIZE', 1000000)
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
MAILER(uucp)

I think (I'm no sendmail guru!) that the marked entries are needed
for a uucp-only setup where the nameserver is not queried.  At least,
the above .mc works for me.  You can probably nuke most other lines
in the middle block (especially confAUTO_REBUILD and local_procmail).
And yes, there is no smart host setting.

Can you try this file and give me feedback if it solved your problem?
I don't want to "fix" the FAQ with a non-working example and I do not
have a pure UUCP box anymore...
