I was about to describe the procedure for you when I got to the line that says >(BTW, we don't do UUCP at all if that matters.) Yes, it matters. The map entries are to allow UUCP mail to work. There is no need for you to generate a map entry. The UUCP map already says how to get to the .edu domain from UUCP-land, so we all can already mail to you. There is no map for Usenet, only a map for UUCP-net (no, folks, they aren't the same thing). For those of you who DO need to find out how to generate a map entry for your UUCP site, check out the README file posted regularly in the comp.mail.maps group. -- -- Joe Buck jbuck@epimass.epi.com, uunet!epimass.epi.com!jbuck
