Email address conversion

To further configure Pathway to send emails through SMTP, it is required to convert users’ email addresses to the name@domain format of internet addresses. In many cases, they are already in this format, but currently email addresses are often stored as display names, or internal addresses (for example, John Smith). You can use the E-mail Address Conversion option on the System Administration > System Parameters menu to facilitate conversion of user email addresses to Internet format. You can use this option to perform basic transformations on user names.

For the purposes of the conversion, a user’s first name is considered to be the first word in the user name. The last name is considered to be all other words without intervening spaces. So, for the user name Vincent van Gogh, the conversion would treat Vincent as the first name and vanGogh as the last name.
