Hi!
When you use the "register" option inside moira to register a user,
for some reason it changes their pobox. (We use this function a lot
for setting up Athena accounts for people who already are set up for
TechMail). I'm not quite sure why it does that, and it actually causes
some problems for us and the postmasters, but that's not what this bug
report is really about.
For some reason, when the pobox changes, the "previous pobox"
information seems to be lost.
Just now, I "registered" the user "burns", who already had a pobox on
PO7. When I checked to see what pobox he was now on in moira, it said
"po6". I wanted to put him back on po7, so I used "set pobox" in
moira, and said it should use his previous pobox. When I looked to see
what po he was now on, it still said po6! I've manually put him back
on po7, but I think that previous pobox should do the right thing.
Thanks,
Carla
