Too Funny. But this was a question I had from reading the release notes as well. We have tried to get all our users away from the 2 letter addresses, but there are still a few that use them. Is there going to be continued support for existing two-letter accounts? Will using an older version of Adduser work and still support the two-letter accounts or are there other changes to Adduser that won't let it be used with 8.14?
I never did find any RFC that really limited the length of an address to >= 3 characters, but if there is one that I missed, let me know. David Ladiges Senior Developer - Mindfly, Inc.

As computers get faster and faster and integrated circuits get smaller and smaller they begin to be influenced by quantum effects. In pioneering work done at Whatsamatta U and trivially summarized in "Progress in Post-Quantum Theory" http://www.qedcorp.com/pdf/PQM1.pdf it was inconclusively discovered that short 1 or 2 character user names could spontaneously transform into the Heisenberg set of aliases in your domain thus delivering to everyone on your server.
