As a programming excersize, I coded a thing into our mail server that accepts dynamic email accounts.

The result:

your-username@mail.uer.ca (the mail. is important) now arrives at your Private Message box.

This feature can be disabled if people start spamming you.

Since this feature is still in beta:

- Only plain text emails work (no multipart, no html)
- No attachments
- Don't abuse it.

Does it work with your current user name (if you changed it like me) or only with your original name you used to sign up?

it works either with your forum username, or with your "Screen name".

for example:

whore of the underworld is reachable like so:

[email protected]

OR:

[email protected]

if you have a "screen name" which contains things other than spaces, underscores, or dashes, like 'dukes, you have to use the "username" part.

I've tried emailing [email protected] twice, and have gotten Undeliverable Mail messages back twice. "User arrow could not be found." is in the messages. The option is enabled in my profile.

Nope, just checked, capitalization doesn't seem to make a difference - I can get messages from myself no matter how I capitalize it. Good idea, though.

I tried it with MacGyver@, and it bounced. When I used krazy@, it wirked fine. almost instantly, too.

Considering how often people around here switch screen names, having the screen name be usable for incoming email might not be a hot idea... Could be some beaucoup embarassment the next time everyone switches names around.

That was quick, my login name worked, neither current screen name didn't work as Av stated, nor did my previous.
Av, is the header info always included with these messages?

I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.
