Hi folks
Can anyone confirm the following behaviour and suggest some way I may work around it?
I'm using a SYNONYM.MER file to customise the email addresses used by Pegasus in the FROM field of outgoing emails.
My current synonym.txt file I created years ago contains 37 lines. 7 of them are like email1@example.com == username(1-7), and the other 30 are email2@example.com == username(8-37). Therefore, username on each of the 37 lines is different, but there are only 2 email addresses shared amongst the 37 users.
I'm trying to change 3 of the 30 lines from email2@ to email3@, but as my subject states, the FSYNONYM.exe program which accepts the synonym.txt file as an input and SYNONYM.MER as an output claims that 1 email address can not be mapped to multiple users.
The Mercuy help file regarding the subject hasn't changed since I last made a modification, but it seems that the FSYNONYM.exe program has, and not for the better.
Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT1: After some looking I believe I see where this problem is. I suspect the last time I ran FSYNONYM.exe I was using Mercury4.7x. The program there states it is "Mercury File Import Synonym Database Builder v1.00". While in Mercury 4.8x, the FSYNONYM.exe version is v2.00. v1.00 had no issue with synonyms to multiple users, but v2.00 does.
EDIT2: Since edit1, it solution is quite obvious. Thankfully I have a backup of the Mercury4.7x files, and used the FSYNONYM.exe from there to update my SYNONYM.MER file. And then simply copied that file to the places it needed to be. However, I would hope that the change in behaviour from v1.00 to v2.00 of FSYNONYM.exe was for a good reason. So, is there a new, more suitable method to using the old program, or is this change unexpected?
