	If you have the source available it is MUCH, MUCH easier dealing
with the m4 format files that get converted to a .cf file.  Look at and
modify a copy of the following file.
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/uucpproto.mc 

	Also read the README file  one directory level up from that
file for instructions in converting the mc file to a cf one.  This
should hopefully get you going.
