18.8.3 Creating a Nickname for a Distribution List
Each distribution list has a specific GroupWise address consisting of the distribution list’s name,
post office, and domain (
distribution_list_name
.
post_office
.
domain
). You can assign one or more
nicknames to a distribution list to give it an alternate address. Each part of the address
(
distribution_list_name
,
post_office
, and
domain
) can be different than the distribution list’s actual
address.
For example, you might want to create a nickname for a distribution list you have just moved (see
Section 18.8.3, “Creating a Nickname for a Distribution List,” on page 275
) or renamed (see
Section 18.5, “Renaming a Distribution List,” on page 270
). The nickname, which would be the
distribution list’s old address, would ensure that any use of the old address would result in the new
address being used instead.
Nicknames are not displayed in the Address Book, which means users need to know the nickname to
use it.
To create a nickname for a distribution list:
1
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Distribution List object, then click
Properties
.
2
Click
GroupWise
>
Nicknames
to display the Nicknames page.
3
Click
Add
to display the Create Nickname dialog box.
