An Email Alias permits email to flow into a mailbox via an alternate address. Each student and employee has an email alias in the form firstname.lastname@merrimack.edu.
An Email alias is often used as a semi-permanent web or print-published address that does not change. The address can be moved from employee to employee as roles change.
Aliases also allow users known exclusively by a nickname unrelated to their given name to be more easily identified.
Sample use:
Webmaster@merrimack.edu is an alias assigned to someone who handles comments about the college web site.
Howard “Rusty” Thompson might have an alias called Rusty.Thompson@merrimack.edu.
How to request this service: call 978 837-3500 (x3500) or email AskIT@Merrimack.edu.
Restrictions: Additional email aliases are available for employees
