[Lnc-business] LNC Emails for Sub Committee Members

Fri Dec 22 09:57:27 EST 2017

One solution to the concerns Starchild raised is to use a job-title "real"
email as described, and then a forwarder to person's name @ lp, which they
can log into on the site or forward to their own email (as I've done with
my LNC email).  That way you keep all the archives together, but they also
show, historically, who sent and received each email, and anyone who
communicates with that person sees their name on the email address - say a
person doesn't know who to contact, so they write to "convention
committee."  They then receive back an email with a person's name on it,
and conduct further communications with that person.  You can even assign
forwarders like this to more than one person on the same underlying email,
although that might be a little frustrating for the people who receive all
the one-sided messages.  One advantage of this is that you never have to
give people the "keys" to the underlying email box, and so, when that
person leaves or is terminated, they can no longer send from their email
address.  I can still send from several non-existent email addresses for
past employers, since they didn't get rid of the email box when I left just
removed my access to it, which is probably less than ideal.
