Strange case in usernames

[valankar]

I've setup Scalix for using the format of first letter of first name, and last name for the email address. It seems to end up creating entries such as for John Smith:

jSmith@example.com

Why is the S capitalized? How can I stop that?

As internet addresses are case-insensitive, this is a display problem rather than a functional one. At present, there is no way to be able to change the case.

If you use the command

Code: Select all

omshowiam -s all

you should see something like

Code: Select all

1                                  domain.com          "C" <gS>

This means the internet address will be the first character from the given name (in lower case) and the whole of the Surname in the case that it was entered. The man page for omiam describes the format specifiers.

We're looking into providing a more flexible format specifier for a later release but there is nothing planned for the immediate future.

Cheers
