I'd like to tell you what you can do with... no, no! Just kidding. In article <841@twwells.uucp> bill@twwells.UUCP (T.

The former is sufficient. UUNET is saying that they will be your mail exchanger site. Internet hosts will be able to send to user@twwells.com and the mail will get there going through UUNET.UU.NET without any other work or magic. >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? Make sure *your* mailer knows that you are twwells.com! May have to twiddle the sendmail.cf. Fred
