I have a policy question which does not seem to be covered by any of
news/usenet documentation which I have seen. I hope that the answer
is not too obvious to need to be written down :-)
We are a mail link for another company which does not have (or want)
any news feed. Should a site description be posted for them?
Thanks,
-Pat

I've seen many map entries for sites who are mail only (and others who will only allow mail links). There is one locally which is connected for mail only, no news. They I look at it, if a site is connected to USENET (for news OR mail), and it's not top secret or anything (like site kremlin :-) then it should have a map entry. That way, people can contact you or others at your site, if they know their login names. -- Kevin Davies International Information Service (IIS) UUCP: {seismo|utai|watmath|garfield} !dalcs!iisat!kevin ----------------------------------------

I run a UNIXpc micro, read and forward news, and exchange mail now and then. I am in the UUCP map but via an awkward path. I don't know how this particular UUCP map entry was generated, but am grateful that it is there despite the circuitous path. Questions: 1) Should micros such as mine have a Usenet (or whatever) map entry? 2) Should other minis and micros in my department declare themselves too? 3) Where is the documentation on how to generate a map entry?
