I've never seen the "domain" .UU.NET - is it real, or did
you make it up?  If it's not real, then you'll really have trouble
getting mail from people with domain-based mailers, which is to say
"most of the world".

Remember that most people only read the map files when there's trouble;
usually they just feed it to pathalias and maybe tune their local area.
The way to keep people from using aleytys <-> uunet is to give it a high
price, such as WEEKLY*10 - nobody will use it unless they're really
trying to reach you.  For your *own* pathalias map generation, use DAILY, so
you'll get the right costs.
