Re: Setup alias for old username
By: Amessyroom to All on Tue Apr 01 2025 01:13 pm
When I first created account, I used my full name:
Granville Errol Casey, Jr.
I later changed it to Errol Casey. I now see some messages,
that are being listed as unknown user. I've attempted to
setup an alias
"Granville Errol Casey, Jr." 1
The alias.cfg file doesn't work that way. You'd need to specify the username part of the email address, not the quoted name.
To direct mail for the previous name; but this doesn't seem to work.
Do I have the alias entered wrong ? Is there another command I need to
run for the alias to be recognized ?
Normally, users can receive email addressed to their alias or their real name, but that's sysop configurable in SCFG->Message Options.
