1066.0. "local usernames, how to do ?" by JAMIN::OSMAN (Eric Osman, dtn 226-7122) Mon May 12 1997 20:19

back on our vms node JAMIN:: I often mailed to local users called, let's say,
U1, U2, U3, U4.

Now that I'm using exchange, with JAMIN:: set up as the pop server, every time
I try to mail to a local user, for example

	U3

I get an error telling me the user isn't known, and I'm forced to either make
an address book entry specifying user U3 as

	U3@JAMIN

or of course I could manually type U3@JAMIN each time I mail to U3.

But this is a pain.  Is there some way I can tell exchange that when I type
in a username like U3 that doesn't have any "@" in it, that I mean a local
user on my pop server ??  Otherwise, I'm going to need 20 or 30 names in
my address book just to get around this problem.

Thanks.

p.s.	At home, I use Eudora and it seems to automatically understand
	local usernames as being on the pop server.  (I don't use jamin from
	home, I use "world" which is my home ISP in Brookline Mass)

Why not type in

f lastname

at the "To:" prompt and hit <ctrl>k and let the system find the 
complete name for you?

Didn't work.   It just says it doesn't know that name and puts up a whole
box asking if I want to put it in my address book.

What I'm looking for is for a way to tell exchange to look up any
name that doesn't have "@" (and isn't an alias in my address book already).
Isn't this possible ?
