The MX records for some UUCP domains point to my local host. How do I get it to pass the messages on to UUCP?

A0601: There are several possibilities. One straightforward way is to set up a domainlist router which matches the UUCP domains and routes to a suitable transport. Sample configuration C003 is such a configuration, while C004 shows another way to do it, by defining the domains as local and using a smartuser director. If all the domains whose MX records point to the local host are either local domains or UUCP domains, you can do without the domainlist router altogether, by making use of the “self” option. This means that only the DNS has to be updated when a UUCP domain is added or removed. For example, this router routes to remote hosts over SMTP using a DNS lookup with default options, and fails for unknown domains (because of the no_more setting), but if the MX for a domain points at the local host, Exim continues on to the next router (self = fail_soft overrides no_more).
