Receiving and sending emails are totally unrelated for sendmail. It's
perfectly okay to use smtp for incoming and uucp for outgoing email.

Exactly. I've uploaded a couple of new sendmail configurations to Barry
Chapmans ISP webpage. They include a sendmail configuration file for a
uucp client. I had that machine hooked up through ethernet to the network
and still have it only send email through uucp (I am even using the TCP
uucp mailer, since the machine normally starts a PPP connection and after
it's established will it initiate a UUCP connection over TCP)
Grab the files at http://www.mtiweb.com/isp. If you have any problems,
feel free to mail me. I am no sendmail guru, but I've survived configuring
it :)
