[MacTUG] another odd problem

[Richard Crispin]

After converting to 10.6 we are having this peculiar e-mail problem. I 
will try and explain the behaviour as clearly as I can but it is a bit 
confusing.

On our Open Directory we have everyone who works at SJU listed. We have 
been moving people's e-mail from sju.uwaterloo.ca to 
connect.uwaterloo.ca. In the mail section of OD we put a forward on 
their e-mail and directed it to their uwaterloo account. The short name 
we have used is the same as the short watiam id (max 8 characters). If 
we send an e-mail to a userid at uwaterloo.ca it gets bounced as an unknown 
user. If we send to userid at connect.uwaterloo.ca it goes through. If we 
change the forward to be userid at connect.uwaterloo.ca then it works as well.

Any ideas what is going on with this.
