Default nickname or alias - neither

Soon i will have mx records pointing to my gwia for domain midbook.com. I have some users to create, however, these users are currently in our groupwise system as arvig.com addresses. They will want their midbook.com mail forwarded to their arvig.com address.

In the past, I have created external users since they do not need novell login, then chose the domain from the drop down on internet addressing, and just did a rule to forward mail to their arvig.com account, setting visibility in address book to none.

This won't work : We cannot create two objects with same name - for instance, dalem is already novell/groupwise login id on arvig.com.... i cannot create another groupwise object, even with a different domain name called dalem. So I am not sure how to accomplish this.

The only thing I can possibly do, is to change their initial login to dalemo (add one more letter of last name) so that the object is different in edirectory.

I have checked into nickname, but doens't seem to let me have different domain name. I have checked into alias, but these users do not want to send as their alias domain name, they want to be known to the world as arvig.com now.


Thank you in advance.
