Re: [iMS] Aliases

The only thing that Skip User does is that it bypasses the template that would be called in the POP server.  The value of this template is limited (which is why we don't use it).  The main part that controls who gets shared mail is the aliases and the SMTP server.  When the mail is received it is inserted into the mailbox of each recipient that shares an alias.   As far as testing goes or things to look for -   I would set up two test accounts with the same alias.  Then, check in the database to see what their account numbers are.  Send a mail to the alias and make sure that two records are added to the MAIL table - one for each recipient.  If this is the case then the server code is working properly.   HTH,   Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Hynes To: inFusion Support List Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 7:17 PM Subject: Re: [iMS] Aliases Also, as you probably know, and is a little unobvious, is that IF you "Skip User Template" on POP, that a 2nd USER does NOT get a copy from another users mail, via an ALIAS mailbox.  I would have a section on what YOU miss IF you turn this stuff off for SPeed. I'm not sure that this is true.  Skip USER should not affect aliases.  When you have aliases shared by more than one user then the email is placed in each mailbox.  We have Skip USER enabled here (and always have) and I've never had this problem. Keep in mind that the username is also the alias, does that effect things? I turned "skip user template" Off and it explicity started sending to the other users that shared the same alias. Now the last issue, FOrwarding is working, but I am getting 2 copies one to the fowarded box and one to normal.Retain local copy upon forwa "Retain local copy upon forward " IS NOT CHECKED. I'll have this tested here but, AFAIK, this is not a FM bug.         Give me some settings or things to change..
