Traditionally, all UO email addresses have included the actual name of a machine
(such as Darkwing, Gladstone or Oregon).
Due to a recent change, however, Darkwing users can now omit "darkwing"
from their email addresses. This means, for example, that if your email address
was formerly jsmith@darkwing.uoregon.edu you can now tell your correspondents
to send email to jsmith@uoregon.edu instead.
In addition to shortening and simplifying your email address on Darkwing, many
users may also find that an email address simply ending in @uoregon.edu
(rather than darkwing.uoregon.edu) may convey a more professional or official
appearance.
To ensure that mailing list subscriptions aren't disrupted, all email sent
outbound from Darkwing will continue to be written by default as coming from
"darkwing.uoregon.edu" unless you manually change your email address
in your email client's options/settings/preferences.
Please also note that this change affects only Darkwing (Gladstone and Oregon users are not affected)--and only darkwing email. Web pages hosted on Darkwing, for example, should still have URLs referring to darkwing.uoregon.edu (see the article "Watch URL Syntax..." on the bottom of page 22) . Likewise, when using your Darkwing account to authenticate on the UO modem pool or wireless network, continue to specify username@darkwing.uoregon.edu
