It shouldn't be looking for deliver.  You need to fix sendmail.cf
so that it uses uux to send mail.  I recommend finding a copy of the 
ORA Sendmail book and asking your ISP for example rules and mailer
definitions.

Another poster mentioned that UUCP is a black art.  He's not kidding,
and you get to do both UUCP _and sendmail, but once you get it up and 
running it should contine on auto-pilot.
