create more than one resource with same email

[steini]

hello,
currently it is not possible to create more resources with the same email adress - means every resource must have a unique email address assigned.
Is this a bug?

Hi,

this is not a bug - it's by intention.

ok, but is it possible to enter an alias email-adress, instead of assigning only ONE internal only user per ressource?

Hi,

If your mail services allow users to append a +tag qualifier to their e-mail address (e.g., username+tag@example.com), a way to bypass the feature/limitation of OX is to provide a different tag for each resource, e.g.:
username+resource1@example.com
username+resource2@example.com

hi martin,
could you please explain "intention" - why, what is the concept behind.

I want an information email to our manger of resources - only one person, our brave secretary. For me, actually this is more like a limitation - i want to decide, who should get the email.

Hi,

the "concept" is, that ressources in Microsoft Outlook need an identifier which is an E-Mail address. To maintain compatiblity, we also need one E-Mail address per ressource. If there are more than one ressource using the same E-Mail address, they won't be unique anymore.

What you can do is creating multiple E-Mail aliases for one user and assign those aliases to ressources.
