 +
 +==== Recipients ====
 +When receiving email messages via SMTP, the Synchronet mail server can match recipient names to a BBS user account by their alias or optionally, their real name. 
 +
 +=== Special Characters ===
 +Non-alphanumeric characters are ignored when matching recipient names to BBS user aliases. So for example, the following will all match the user "digital man":
 +  * ''digital.man''
 +  * ''digital_man''
 +  * ''digitalman''
 +  * ''d-i-g-i-t-a-l-man''
 +
 +=== Real Names ===
 +When matching recipient names to BBS real names (if so enabled by the sysop by setting SCFG->Message Options->Receive E-mail by Real Name to "Yes"), spaces and '.' are treated as equivalent. When "Receive E-mail by Real Name" is enabled, receiving e-mail by user's alias is still supported.
 +
 +=== Special Aliases ===
 +Recipient names configured in ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:alias.cfg]]'' can be used to match recipient names to specific user account numbers, aliases, external email addresses, or even sub-boards.
 +
 +=== User Number ===
 +Receiving by user account number is also optionally supported, not not encouraged and disabled by default.
