Resolved: RE: mutiple addresses for one user account

2012-06-15 Thread David Durling
Thanks everyone who replied,

I was able to test yesterday and see that for us, either separator (comma or 
semicolon) worked, as you say.

Hi,



It allows adding multiple email ID's in TO, CC, BCC Field even if the length 
exceeds 255 characters.

A semicolon (;) OR a comma (,) can be specified as separators between two Email 
ID's, blank space is not allowed.

In case of blank space, it gives error message as "Illegal white space in 
address (Severe Error)"



If you want to use different separators which are not allowed you can use 
workflow and replace this separator with the separator which is allowed and 
push the addresses directly to email message form.

Do any of you rely on the Email field on the User record allowing you to list 
multiple addresses?



address1@fakeaddress, address2@fakeaddress  (or maybe other separator like ;)



I don't see a mention of it in the docs, but it seems to work on test.  I don't 
want to reply on it if it's not an expected behavior, though.



The reason:  I need for a particular notice to some addresses to be sent as one

I have good news with the Notify Filter bug.  I did some testing on our 7.6.04 
system and have found that it is no longer truncating To data to 256 characters 
in the Notify filters.

Yes I think it was 6.3 that we stumbled on it.  We keep hoping and checking the 
release notes.  Haven't seen any reference to it being changed.

As we get ready to upgrade to a new version it's something we test to see if we 
can go back to the Notify workflow.  Still seems to be there.

Actually that depends on how you are sending the messages.  Since he is on 
Solaris, if he is using normal Unix methods of sending emails then he will want 
to use a comma as the separator (since that is the separator as defined by Unix 
sendmail type processes) and make sure the 
   com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.CommaValidAddressSeparator=true
is set

It will work, use semi-colon, else the email engine may reject it unless you 
have it config'd to recognize commas.

If you have an integration in place to update people records it could get

Thanks for the caution - this is actually just 2 mailing list addresses, so 
managing addresses shouldn't be a problem in this instance.

(If I don't use the same message to mail the lists, people signed up for both 
lists will receive 2 messages.)

Subject: mutiple addresses for one user account

Do any of you rely on the Email field on the User record allowing you to list 
multiple addresses?
 
address1@fakeaddress, address2@fakeaddress  (or maybe other separator like ;)

I don't see a mention of it in the docs, but it seems to work on test.  I don't 
want to reply on it if it's not an expected behavior, though.

The reason:  I need for a particular notice to some addresses to be sent as one 
email, not separate ones for each user.

Re: mutiple addresses for one user account

2012-06-13 Thread Goodall, Andrew C
It will work, use semi-colon, else the email engine may reject it unless you 
have it config'd to recognize commas.

If you have an integration in place to update people records it could get 
overwritten.

Re: mutiple addresses for one user account

2012-06-13 Thread Pierson, Shawn
In these situations we use email distribution lists maintained in Exchange 
instead of having them listed anywhere in Remedy.  I don't see why it wouldn't 
work, since the email engine is just passing onto SMTP or whatever and properly 
formatted lists of email addresses should work.  I would just caution you that 
you may not want to be responsible for maintaining those lists in Remedy rather 
than Exchange.
