Requesting an e-mail alias

You may request a different address prefix, called an alias, for delivery to the same destination as your published address. The electronic address destination that you indicate on the form is where your e-mail will be received. F or example, you might want an alias such as:

• firstname.lastname@auburn.edu or
  
  
• (if you handle the incoming e-mail for an organization) organization@auburn.edu

These guidelines apply:

• Your published e-mail address will use the format user@auburn.edu, where user is the User Name
  
  
• only one destination address may be specified
  
  
• the alias address will use the suffix @auburn.edu

Aliases are assigned on a first come, first served basis. OIT reserves the right to deny an alias deemed inappropriate or offensive. The changes will take effect immediately on the University Directory (People Finder) on the web and in the Human Re source System on the IBM mainframe, and the updated e-mail address will be used for the next printing of the telephone book.
