Support@domain.tld alias not allowed?

Support

Hi,

Cockpit refuses to create an alias named “support”. It pretends that “This name is reserved for built-in pseudonyms”. I’m surprised that such a common alias is forbidden. Is it for real ?

Thanks

Could you check your logs?
support is not reserved.
I just successfully created an alias name support for my user. I also had a look at the code, I didn’t find any validator that could forbid it.

# db accounts show support@ 
support@=pseudonym
    Access=public
    Account=filippo@example.org
    Description=

The validator seems to be this, if I’m not mistaken.
Do you get some support entry on the users or groups list?

/usr/libexec/nethserver/list-users
/usr/libexec/nethserver/list-groups

I can create it.
Probably already exists a support user. Can you check?

I should go earlier to bed. The address already existed.

My only excuse is that the error message could be a bit more specific :blush:

Sorry again guys
