Scalix Forums

The way our current email system is setup, a user with the name "John Smith" would have an email address:

j.smith@example.com

I'm trying to replicate this in default email address generated by Scalix, but without any success. I can set the auth id to "g.l@" which gets that corrent, but I'm at a loss on how to specify an all-lowercase version of the last name to the mail address generator, as 'l' (lowercase L) doesn't work there.

Is there any way to do this, or am I stuck with fixing all the addresses manually?

As far as I know, you're stuck. But generally, the case won't matter. Email is case insensitive, which is inconsistent with most things unix... (Inconsistency is pretty consistent).

Hai,

I found the problem with my server, the authentication is case sensitive, i found the problem with some of our user, the First letter of the user authentication is CAPS, when they try to login with all lower case in webmail, they are getting error

Hi,

We had a similar issue during migration, but in the end it was a non-issue, as the POP/Webmail clients were just able to log in with their old ID, regardless of the case. We had POP3 clients using the lowercase version of the ID,, and this worked fine.

Thanks.
Andrew.
