Student directory

The student mail directory contains email addresses for all students in the @sms.ed.ac.uk domain.

The student mail directory, sometimes known as smsdir, is automatically generated from the student record system and mail addresses are formed from the initials and surname of all students.

Where there is a clash of address with multiple people having the same name, an additional number is added to the end of the address. All student addresses end with @sms.ed.ac.uk.Where there is a clash of address with multiple people having the same name, an additional number is added to the end of the address. All student addresses end with @sms.ed.ac.uk.

Since addresses are automatically generated, it is not possible to change or add additional addresses to the student directory. However, name changes registered in the student record will create additional aliases in the directory.
