Help creating a User account with a period in the name?!

[motobrandt]

I'm migrating from a dying cobalt raq4 and I have a user with the username of [email protected] . DA says that this username is invalid. Is there a way around this?

Thanks!

I believe the operating system itself will only allow usernames containing alphanumeric characters, underscores, hyphens, and the dollar sign. Not 100% sure though.

But creating a POP3 address with a period is no problem. You could create the domain using another username and then just add a pop3 or forwarder account.

thanks a lot!

Yep!

It is not possible to put a period in the name. So forwarders will probably work.

Thanks!
