One need not have an Internet forwarder to have a domain-name, except
for folks in the *.US domain.  As an example, there is a site local
to this site which is registered in the .COM domain that has no Internet
mail forwarder.  

I _do_ hope that others will follow Chip's lead and convert over to
a domain-name.  We here at edison.CHO.GE.COM maintain a current set of
maps and also have indirect Internet access and we have an awful time
getting mail through to sites in the _fake_ domain of .UUCP but have
had little or no trouble communicating with sites having a 
real domain-name.
