NRS E-Mail Forwarding System

(July 24, 2003)

The NRS e-Mail forwarding system is an integral part of the NRS Information System.

 A D D R E S S   F O R M A T  

The NRS Electronic Mail Forwarding System accepts mail addressed to personnel affiliated with the NRS system (NRS site personnel, visiting researchers, etc.), and forwards this mail to the person's "home address".
Thus, messages sent to username@UCNRS.org                             
are forwarded to the person 'username'. 
For example, mail to JDoe@UCNRS.org will be forwarded to JohnDoe@ucdavis.edu, John Doe’s e-mail box at UC Davis.

1.  Use the first letter of a person's first name, plus the last name.
2. 'username' and address are NOT case sensitive (any letter can be either upper or lower case). 
Thus, JDoe@UCNRS.org is considered the same address as jdoe@ucnrs.org.  (Upper-case letters are used to improve readability only.)
