Hello,

I have a situation where I get a bunch of nntp messages that all have the same email address but actually come from different people, as indicated in the name field. (These are created by another web/nntp interface that will not expose the user's email address as per their privacy concerns--mostly because they generally hide the fact that it's an nntp gateway).

Anyways, on my site, all of the posts get attributed to the same user. Is there a way to get fudforum to use the name field to lookup the user instead? The difficulty is that if no user exists we don't know the real email address to use to create the account.

What I'm trying to avoid is all of these posts looking like they come from one account, because they don't. I'm open to any possible solution.

James.
