hi,
i am using JES 2005q1 and i have one account with two email address. One is primary (gk207886@sun.com) and other is alias (tbmnight@sun.com ). whenever i send message to alias in my sent to folder the name appears as gk207886@sun.com instead of tbmnight@sun.com.
plz help me in avoid this problem.
thanks,
sasi
Hi,
By default messaging server will rewrite email aliases (mailalternateaddress:) to the 'official/primary' mail: address. From the description you have provided I can't be certain this is the case for yourself though.
To get around this rewriting, rather then adding the alias to mailalternateaddress:, use mailequivalentaddress:. mailequivalentaddress: addresses do not get rewritten.

Hi,
In the same account.. no idea - I leave that as an exercise for the reader. In different accounts, there will be a conflict since addresses have to be unique across LDAP entires and the email will most likely be bounced back to the sender.
There is no need to have the same address specified in both as the whole point of mailequivalentaddress: is to behave as mailalternateaddress: but without rewriting to mail:.

hi,
I specified mailAlternateaddress,mailEquivalentaddress separately in two different situations and tested but in my sent to folder name appears as alias and not as primary address in both cases.
As per the reply from forum mailEquivalent should not rewrite, but its rewritten.
Is there any other attribute overriding this one.

Hi,
Well if that is the case then it may not be that this is the problem.
The rewriting of From: to mail: will occur:
1. When you SEND (smtp upload) an email via the messaging server to either yourself or another person
and
2. When you set the From: address to the value of the email address listed in mailalternateaddress:
Also you need to consider that ldap attributes are cached by default for 15 minutes, so this could skew your testing.
What client are you using to send the email (IMAP client/UWC/Messenger Express)?
When you say the message doesn't change as you expect, is this the copy of the email in your Sent folder or a copy of the email you sent to yourself (CC/BCC)?

shane.
