Just as with paper mail, you need to know your recipient's address before
sending an electronic mail (e-mail) message. At Dartmouth, if you use the
BlitzMail program for e-mail, we have tried to make it as simple and
reliable as paper mail. Enter the person's name and the message will be
delivered. If you are going to use BlitzMail frequently, you
should verify that your preferred address is set to "BlitzMail" (select
Edit DND Entry from the BlitzMail menu).
Unfortunately, sending e-mail to recipients outside Dartmouth isn't as easy;
you can't just send an e-mail message to john doe@stanford and
expect it to get through. This is also the case if you don't use the
BlitzMail program for your e-mail (you use, for example, Thunderbird
or AppleMail).
To Receive E-Mail Off Campus
If someone wants to send you mail from off campus (from another
institution), your e-mail address is
yourfirstname.mi.yourlastname@dartmouth.edu (for example, Jane
Doe's e-mail address would be
jane.m.doe@dartmouth.edu). There should be no spaces (use
a period instead) between names for off-campus e-mail (spaces are only
permissible when using BlitzMail to send mail to another person at
Dartmouth). Please note that, while BlitzMail permits you to
create and use nicknames, the only guaranteed e-mail address is that of the
aforementioned format.
To Send E-Mail Off Campus
When sending e-mail to someone at another institution, you must have their
complete (john.doe@stanford.edu) e-mail address. Ask them
for their e-mail address, or have them send you a message, then use the
Reply to Sender command to respond.
