This map entry is almost exactly correct. There are just two lines
that are wrong:

	cadnetix        .cadnetix.uucp
	cadnetix=       cadnetix.uucp

The first one declares this site as part of the .UUCP domain. There
is no .UUCP domain, and there never will be. The second line is
redundant, since the presence of "cadnetix" in the UUCP map implies
it. These two lines will be removed by the Colorado UUCP Map
Coordinator before the map entry is published in comp.mail.maps if he
follows the guidelines that we've all been given.

People who're writing UUCP map entries now, please don't declare your
site as part of a .UUCP domain. It only makes more work for the map
coordinators (who then have to edit the map entry to make it right).
