I recompiled the smail package from sunsite with those variables changed
and I now have a working smtp mailer. It works fine. I have mine
configured more like sendmail, but other than that, I made no other
changes. From my understanding of the way smail works, I don't believe
those bsd-network changes will affect uucp. After all, bsd machines
with sendmail use uucp too. I will find out when I try that out at my
home system with uucp as the basic transport.
