Topic: can't create news alias in pseudonyms [SOLVED]

[crusader]

Does anyone know why I can't create a news alias in the pseudonyms or neighter can create a user named news?
I can't find any news account defined in the db accounts. So why does the sme server block my attempts to create such a user?

Look in /etc/passwd, you should see there is an already defined user named news.

cat /etc/passwd | grep news
news:x:9:13:news:/etc/news:

Do you know why this user is already defined there?

Ok, thank you for the hint, the solution was just to use the new@<domainname> as pseudonym which works instead of only using the news as pseudonym.
