Fitting a Mask to Recipient Addresses

If a reviewer uses the iConsole Address Selector dialog to send an email to all members of a user group or dynamic address list, the iConsole uses the address mask to pick the most appropriate recipient addresses. It then writes these addresses to the To: (or Cc: or Bcc:) field.

How does it pick recipient addresses? When a reviewer clicks the Send button, the CMS returns a list of matching user accounts. For each user account, the iConsole then examines the email addresses associated with that account and chooses the first address that fits the address mask. Finally, it writes that address to the To: field.

If no SMTP addresses fit the mask, the iConsole attempts an LDAP lookup on the recipient’s Windows account in order to find an address. If successful, that address is written to the To: field.
