Piece of cake.  You do need a paths file, albeit a small one.  Build it
from whatever information is necessary to establish UUCP connectivity to
the neighbor and add one extra line:

smart-host =    hostname

where hostname is the UUCP host name of the neighbor.

All mail whose address cannot be resolved locally will be sent to the
smart host.

For example:

smart-host =    uunet
thehulk         uunet(demand)

is sufficient to establish uunet at the smart host for thehulk.

Hope this helps.
