Confusion: Microsoft Corp., Redmond WA

Seeing all this discussion about rerouting, pathalias, internet name servers,
et. al., I'm a bit confused.

Not wishing to clutter up this group with a bunch of pretty obvious questions,
could I ask if there's someone out there who'd be willing to teach me the
basics of UUCP administration?

E.g. I have just unpacked my Unix box (NeXT? Sun? Whatever.) and would like
to hook myself up to UUCP mail, Usenet, etc.  I wish to be a good citizen
and pick a non-colliding name, notify the right people, set up my mailer
(what *is* the copyright status of sendmail?) to do The Right Things, etc.
What should I be doing?

If someone could spare the time, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks!
