Is it possible to use multiple internet addresses for a database residing on the server?

Yes, multiple internet addresses can be used for a single database or mail file residing on the Domino server. In order to use multiple internet addresses, each internet address requires it's own Person Document. Each Person Document will contain each of the unique internet addresses to be used. The fields to be concerned with are the "Internet Address" and "Mail File" fields. Because the Person Document is simply a "pointer", the first name, last name, short name are not important.

For example:

You have three internet addresses (joe1@domain.com, joe2@domain.com, & joe3@domain.com) that you would like to associate with a database (test.nsf). Create three separate person documents and populate each of the unique internet addresses into the Person Document's "Internet Address" field. Ensure that each of the Person Document's "Mail File" fields point to the same database (test.nsf). Now that the key part of the process is complete, you can assign any first and last name you wish to each of the person documents.

Once complete, when you send a message to joe1@domain.com, joe2@domain.com, and joe3@domain.com, they will all be delivered to the same database.

thx for the info.

Wouldn't it suffice to make one person document, and to put the two other internet addresses in the user name field? (maybe even the alternate name field might work, didn't try that yet).

Thanks for your feedback
