Email Alias Policy
(Updated 5.4.1999)
Overview
E-mail aliases can be used to define mailing lists which include multiple
recipients within a department or an organization.
E-mail alias requests are handled by the CIT Accounts Office on an individual basis.
Standards
An e-mail alias should not conflict with a current or potential
normal UBUnix account or DCE principal. E-mail aliases should conform
to one or more of the following rules:
- It must contain a hyphen.
- It should begin with a 2 or 3 letter abbreviation related to
the department or organization requesting it.
- It should be between 9 and 30 characters long.
- It should be as descriptive as possible of the department or
organization making the request.
Any e-mail alias that is less than 9 characters and does not contain
a hyphen is unacceptable.
Process
- Clients contact the CIT Accounts Office to request an e-mail alias be setup
or that a new user be added to an existing e-mail alias.
- The client should supply a suggested alias name, the justification for
the alias, the username of the responsible individual along with his/her campus
address, phone number, and email address, and a list of usernames that need to
be added to the alias.
- Once the e-mail alias has been created the CIT Accounts office will notify
the requester via e-mail.
