Alias for Email

The implementation of the OneNASA email address initiative over the past few months has transitioned smoothly. A primary interest from customers has been that they don't like the @nasa.gov email address assigned to them. Johnson Space Center has developed an email aliasing capability, which is now available. Goddard employees are now able to choose one alias that they may use in their email client (e.g. Eudora, Outlook). This is optional, if you are satisfied with your assigned email name you don't have to take any action.

The procedures for reserving an alias are listed below. Your choices of an alias are limited to the current aliases in the x500 system. You may only choose one alias, and it must be from the existing list of aliases for your name. Once you reserve your alias, you will need to change your "reply to" and/or "from" fields to reflect your new @nasa.gov address in your email client, listservs, Webpop, etc.

As always, if you have any questions or problems with the aliasing feature, please contact the GSFC Postmaster, Mike Richter, at x6-6376. Thank you for your patience as we continue to implement OneNASA email services.
