SecurityGateway 9.0.0 - January 10, 2023
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
- [25882] By default, mailbox names that contain a plus character (+) will now be considered to be subaddressed. The user verification process will
consider the subaddress to be an alias. For example, user+folder@example.com will resolve as user@example.com and an alias where
user+folder@example.com = user@example.com. New users for which the mailbox name contains a plus character cannot be created. Existing users for
which the mailbox name contains a plus character are not automatically removed. They can be fixed up (renamed or merged) by running the Setup | Accounts |
User Verification Sources | Verify Users process. An option to restore the previous behavior "Allow user mailbox name to contain plus (+)
character" has been added to Setup | Accounts | User Options. When enabled, these mailbox names will not be considered
aliases/sub-addresses. For example, user+folder@example.com will be considered its own user and not an alias of user@example.com.
