If you have only one UUCP peer, you can do it simpler:

uucp_route:
driver = accept
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = uucp
no_more

And in the uucp transport, change the command to:

command = "/usr/bin/uux -r -gC - 'tsfmail.tsf.co.za!rmail ${local_part}@${domain}'"

Changing router to 'accept' should stop it.

According to the docs, however, the lookup should not happen in
the first place. Maybe getting rid of "byname" in route_list
will help, try it first. Philip?
