I have a quick question, that will probably be very easily addressed here:

I am performing a bulk import of a list of users, from a file in the form:

FirstName,Surname,Username,Password

The thing is, that import works flawlessly, however what I need to do is then go back and add the aliases for each users. Some users have many aliases.

So on the command line, how would I add additional addresses/aliases to the user.

The adduser command is basically:

system ("omaddu -n \'$fullname/$mailnode/IA=\"$fullname\" <$user\@$domain>\' -p $pass $user -class limited");

But assuming a user had three aliases that need to be added after the fact, how can i go back in a bulk script such as one that has the users full name and the additional alias one on each line?

For that matter, how can I just add another alias on the command line for an existing user?

I hope at least 5% of this post made sense!

Is the alias just an additional email address or an extra entry in the address book? Both are possible, but usually people want the former.

To do this, do a omaddu as follows (please note the quotes):

omaddu -n 'User Name/mailnode/IA="User Name" <email_address1@domain.com>=email_address2@domain.com=email_address3@domain.com' -p ...

You can modify a user by doing

ommodu -o "User Name/mailnode" -n 'User Name/mailnode/IA="User Name" <email_address1@domain.com>=email_address2@domain.com=email_address3@domain.com'

If you want to do this from a script, you will have to escape the quotes correctly. This works from a bash shell.
