Society email addresses are a desirable feature, but for maximum clarity and efficiency, they need to be assigned in a logical and consistent manner.
* <ul><li>Officers — <''title''@augustansociety.org>, with most multi-word titles condensed to a single word where not confusing. Where a title is duplicated (as with Dean), words or acronyms are added for clarification.</li>* <li>Committee Chairmen — <''name@augustansociety.org>, exceptions existing for chairmen with unique titles.</li>* <li>Committees — <''name''.comm@augustansociety.org>, but a few exceptions exist, such as <finance@augustansociety.org> for the Finance Committee. These should probably be eliminated over time.</li>* <li>Individuals — <''firstname.lastname''@augustansociety.net>. Hypenated names use the hyphen; apostrophes and spaces are dropped. For compound surnames without a hyphen, only the first is used. Prepositional surnames are condensed (thus Von Leden is given vonleden). Diacritical marks are omitted.</li>* <li>Outside agencies — <''acronym''.c-o@augustansociety.com>, though this may soon be discontinued for lack of use.</li>* <li>Lower case characters are to be used in all cases, and no punctuation other than periods and hyphens, and those only as described above. Compound names are concatenated (Von Leden becomes vonleden), and punctuation is omitted (O'Shea becomes oshea).Diacritical marks are omitted.</li></ul>
==Email Forwarding==
Email to <augustansociety.org>, <augustansociety.net>, and <augustansociety.com> are forwarded by a mail server located on the Society's virtual server at RimuHosting in their Dallas data center.
To view or edit the forwarding list , edit the table at </etc/postfix/virtual>on that machine. Examination of the format already present should provide adequate instruction for maintenance of the list.
After editing the table, run <postmap /etc/postfix/virtual> to effect the changes.
The two posts marked with asterisks are the only ones that would be expected to have access once access is compartmentalized (a task not presently contemplated since all work is being done by one person).
==Content Policies==
'''It is the Policy of the Society that public communications would be constrained to use only honorifics that were currently recognized by the Society, but private communications may continue to employ all honorifics previously recognized by the Society that have not been specifically revoked.'''
For the sake of these policies, “public communications” would include web sites, '' The [[Augustan Omnibus|The Augustan Omnibus]]'', ''[[Augustæum]]'', and correspondence with non-members. “Private communications” would include correspondence with members (with no non-member recipients), and certificates.
While it is strongly preferred that email be sent from Society addresses, it is understood that some officers may not have the technical skills needed to so configure their email accounts, and some email systems may not permit this. The [[Postmaster]] will provide technical support as his skills may permit.
