From article <72@dynasys.UUCP>, by jessea@dynasys.UUCP (Jesse W. Asher): > Why can't I just add a domain address to my uucp map entry and use > it anyway, without registering? I realize that mail will not be > able to traverse into the realm of Internet. And when someone sends mail to jessea@dynasys.com via uunet and the MX lookup fails, your mail will be returned to sender - address unknown. You can't do this - it's like changing your mailing address without moving ( example: deciding you don't like Tennesee and declaring that Memphis is now part of California. Mail to Jesse in Memphis Ca. will probably be returned to sender [if it's not simply lost] ). I see that you're a uunet.uu.net customer. They can register you for real at a nominal fee ( worth it to avoid the paperwork ). -- Ed Clarke | Happiness, n. An agreeable sensation arising from acheron!clarke | contemplating the misery of another. - Ambrose Bierce
