Exactly.
I've been through all this already, and believe me, the simplest way is to
run named on your server, with one of the two precautions I mentioned
earlier. From then on, configuring everything is simple, you can follow
the standard advice in O'Reilly books, HOWTOs and FAQs, and you can use
binary distributions of sendmail, etc., etc.

I use uucp for incoming mail, but it's harder to convince my upstream site
to accept my outgoing uucp mail, and I like outgoing mail to be sent right
away anyway.
