Problem setting up an Alias...

[Jonathan Fanti]

Hi, 

Sorry if this seems like a silly problem:
I'm trying to setup a user and then an alias for that user..

vadduser jon
vaddalias jon jonathan.fanti - or should it be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]?
at this point I get the error: 
"user 'jon' already exists."
Is there something very obvious that I have missed?

Thanks,

Jon.


P.S. Thanks to all that helped on the DNS issue. i decided to run
name-caching DNS on the mail box with fowarders to our ISP DNS. Hoping
this will speed things up a bit.
