Yes, as other pointed out.

Not quite clear on what you want to do here.

Do you want the 3B2s to send mail via UUCP, but have incoming mail
available via POP?  Or possibly have certain addresses to a domain via POP
and others or the default via UUCP?

This can be done easily in sendmail.cf and a typical UUCP entry is:


R$*<@cust_domain>$* $#duucp$@cust_mach_name$:$1<@cust_domain.com>$2


Now if you wanted certain addresses to be accessed via POP for a local
account adding lines before the default line like this:

Rjoe.customer<@cust_domain>$*	$#local $: cust_account

Would be parsed out before the default "catch all" parses the rest for UUCP
delivery.

Or just the opposite with default mail going to a POP account:

Rjoe.customer<@cust_domain>$* $#duucp$@cust_mach_name$:$1<@cust_domain.com>$2
R$*<@cust_domain>$*	$#local $: cust_account


You will definately want to do some reading and consider exactly what you
wish to do.  Mind you the rules in FreeBSD's version of sendmail are most
likely different that the version I use, so changes would be needed, but
the principles are the same.
