Aliasing of e-mail addresses

Aliasing of e-mail addresses is now an integral part of Dithaka. A real e-mail address must be provided and an alias address must be assigned. The administrator can provide the alias domain name and that will be combined with the user name to create the alias e-mail address. For example: pvz (user name) and dithaka.co.za (alias domain) will give one the alias address pvz@dithaka.co.za. Issues that one must keep in mind:

• what happens when the user replies to the e-mail using the alias: If there is no such domain or e-mail box for that user on the Dithaka server the mail will not be delivered. The messages from Dithaka forces one to reply to the list and not the user that send the e-mail.
