Whoa, that's us!

How do I do this?  That is, exactly what line(s) do I add to my map entry
to show that we will serve as a gateway for mail to "ukans.edu"?

I echo Bob Sloane's (sloane@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu) earlier posting: where can I
find more extensive documentation on the format of a map entry?  The README
file that is periodically posted to comp.mail.maps doesn't cover this.

Oh well, this will probably become a mute (groan) point with the release of
the VMS UUCP package.
