Create an email alias in Lotus Notes
Everybody in Lotus Notes has their email address as first initial and last name except for one person, who was created by a network guy and he screwed up. I would use John Johnson for the name and the email address would be jjohns@mynetwork.com instead of jjohnson@mynetwork.com. His AD login though is jjohnson.
We have a server that sends emails whenever a program fails to run and the server automatically sends emails to all the AD people adding @mynetwork.com at the end, but it fails on jjohns@mynetwork.com because it doesn't find that email address.
Can I create an alias in Lotus Notes for this person so he can receive emails generated by the system?
If yes, how can I do it.
Thanks!

You can create as many aliases as you like, in the Person document, under Short name/UserID
ASKER
I tried but the email fails
Sorry, I should have said that you have to restart the router (or you wait some minutes)

It tells me that this person is not found in the Domino Address Book

I did restart the router and it tells me that this user is not found in Domino Directory

Basicly, what I want is when the system send email to jjohnson@mynetwork.com to be forwarded by Lotus Notes to jjohns@mynetwork.com
Yes, I understand, but that's exactly what should happen when you add a name to that list of short names. It should read for John Johnson:
jjohnson@mynetwork.com
jjohns@mynetwork.com
jjohnson
jjohns
johnniej
all separated by a newline.
There is an option somewhere I think to disable synonym lookup, but I can't find it. I'm absolutely not sure about this. AFAIK the synonyms method mentioned above should work.
jjohnson@mynetwork.com
jjohns@mynetwork.com
jjohnson
jjohns
johnniej

I assume you changed the name on the server receiving the mail by SMTP...

I do have an SMTP server also

We do have a filter company that stops all the spam, I wonder if that has an entry to check for the validation of the email address in Notes

I normally add it to the user name field and not shortname.
I've also seen some poorly written apps that can't seem to handle this. To get around it I created a group, added the necessary internet address and made the one user member of that group but it's a real ugly way around it.
