[off-topic] RE: RSWUWFML2 and substitutes

[Dart, Jocelyn]

I'm assuming that's tounge-in-cheek?  Have you SEEN some of the email
addresses around?  Not to mention that if the system guesses the wrong
email address that just happens to be a valid email address for another
person with a similar name you open up a whole open-cut mine of
confidentiality, privacy and security issues. 
Anyway of course you can look it up in another IT system - that's where
LDAPs and UME (User Management Engine)and suchlike come in and of course
you can link them up to your SAP systems.

I have seen this dramatic statement in before and I think you put an
undue
pressure on the customer. I mean, why do we pay large sums of money for
IT
systems, if not so they can solve some of our problems? And what do we
get?
Systems that are cheeky and tell us they can't send e-mails without _us_
specifying the e-mail address. It is outrageous!

I think if there is no e-mail address the system should either make an
educated guess by comparing known addresses to their owner data, or look
up
the information in another IT system. It has to be registered somewhere
already!
