Description Don Zickus 2008-02-15 16:06:52 UTC
Description of problem:

I ran into a problem today, when I tried to cc some people on a bz.  Apparently
bugzilla could not find their email addresses and failed to allow me to cc them.
 Later I found out the email addresses I was using were email aliases.

Considering I really have no way to figure out if the email address I have for a
user is an alias or not, bugzilla needs to handle this correctly.

Example aliases I had trouble with sandeen -> esandeen and
jbacik -> jwhiter



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest

How reproducible:
very

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create dummy bug
2.trying adding a cc of one of the example aliases to the bug
3.watch bugzilla tell you no, can't find address
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

Bugzilla currently only supports one email address per user account. This will take some considerable work to implement and may best be coordinated with the upstream.

You can only CC: an address that has an account in Bugzilla. The fact it is an alias isn't relevant. There are many e-mail aliases that are users in Bugzilla.
