Hi,

[I sent this to uucp-query@stargate.com and got no reply, so I am posting it.]

I am the local News administrator here at KU Computing services, and I would
like some information about registering our site.  We have a VAX 8650 running
VMS and a usenet news package from the Austrailian National University written
by Geoff Huston.  We do NOT have any UUCP capabilities, but we ARE on the
internet, and receive a news feed via MAIL from ksuvax1.

Currently, mail addressed to ksuvax1!kuhub!user does NOT get delivered because
we have no UUCP software, and ksuvax1 does not know to translate the address.
Mail addressed to ksuvax1!kuhub.cc.ukans.edu!user does get delivered properly.
I am not certain how to set up the map entry to reflect our setup, since we
are not really a UUCP site. There are other systems here that are connected
via DECNET to our system, and I anticipate at least some mail traffic going to
those system in response to news. Could someone help me out as to whether we
should register our site, the connected sites and what our map entry should
look like?  Is there any documentation available other than the readme file?
