After you have established an Internet domain name and default Internet Agent, you can select the e-mail address formats that you want the Internet Agent to accept for the Internet domain.
Preferred Address Format
Select the address format you want to use as the preferred format for your GroupWise
system. The preferred address format is used in the GroupWise Address Book and
in the To field of sent messages.
Enable "First Initial Last Name" Matching for Incoming Mail
Select this option if you want the Internet Agent to be able to resolve addresses
for incoming messages by performing "first initial last name" lookups
on the username portion of the address. When doing so, the Internet Agent uses
the first letter of the username as the first initial and the remainder of the
username as the last name. It then resolves the address to any GroupWise users
whose Last Name field (in the User object properties) contains the last name
and whose Given Name field starts with the first initial.
For example, if the recipient's address is jpeterson@novell.com, the first initial would be J and the last name would be Peterson. The address would resolve to the user whose Last Name field is Peterson and Given Name field starts with J. If more than one user's given name starts with J (for example, John and Janice), the message is undeliverable.
This option is useful if you want to be able to use the UserID@Internet_domain_name format but your user IDs do not really reflect your users' actual names (for example, John Peterson's user ID is 46789 so his address is 46789@novell.com). In this case, you could publish users' addresses as their first initial last name (for example, jpeterson@novell.com) and enable this option so that the Internet Agent resolves the addresses to the appropriate users.
Allowed Address Formats
Select the address formats to be supported for incoming messages and for
POP3/IMAP4 logins. GroupWise delivers a message to the recipient if any of the
allowed formats have been used in the address.
Because the allowed address formats apply to POP3/IMAP4 logins, do not deselect
UserID@Internet_domain_name if you have POP3/IMAP4 users. This would prevent
them from logging in with their GroupWise user IDs, and using a different format
would be inconvenient for them.
