I've now got a domain name from uunet so it is time to update my map entry
and my signature. I'd like some advice on doing this.

Firstly, besides being twwells, a uucp site, I'm now twwells.com with an MX
off uunet. What is the correct way to put this into my map entry?

Secondly, is it sufficient to just tell Internet sites to mail to twwells.com,
or is it necessary for them to do some fudging to make sure that the mail goes
to uunet first?

Thirdly, are there any unexpected things that I might have to cope with
because of this additional name for my system? Any additional things I might
take advantage of to make mail routing easier?

(BTW, I'm may be looking for a new job sometime in the next few
months.  If you know of a good one where I can be based in South
Florida do send me e-mail.)
