IEEE EMAIL ALIAS
e-mail Alias for all member!
IEEE offers as one of its many members services
students and professionals the e-mail alias (member@ieee.org)
Free e-mail virus detection service.
This service includes the VIRUS DETECTION for FREE.
This virus detection or search is performed in messages only when
they have any file as an “attachment”. Any message
with attachments passing through the IEEE system will be previously
verified before being redirected to the destination address.
If any virus is found in the attached file, the
system will warn to the sender and also to the receiver. The infected
file will be deleted from the e-mail message, and only the message
body will be sent.
Virus Proliferation in the informatic world is
high and because of this IEEE updates its virus list on a weekly
basis, which guarantees great efficiency in these detections
¿What is an e-mail alias?
E-mail alias is in itself an e-mail messages redirecting
service, which IEEE offers to its members.
The “Alias” Substitutes our “real” e-mail
address to make our communication easier. In example: My e-mail
alias is v.pacora@ieee.org,
but mi real e-mail address is v.pacora@uni.edu.pe
in my Internet Service Provider, When someone sends me an e-mail
message to my IEEE alias, this goes through the IEEE system (in
Piscataway, USA) and is re-directed to my real e-mail address.
If I changed my Internet Service Provide, or changed my job, it
will be enough to update that information in the IEEE System.
The work to keep the alias updated depends on yourself,
otherwise future messages will be delivered to the previously
defined address
How to get the alias?
The easiest and most recommendable way is to do
so through the web site starting from IEEE EMAIL ALIAS, in the
option “The IEEE Personal Email Alias” will go directly
to the registration zone of your new alias. For its registration
in the system you will have to have your membership number and
have already thought how will your alias be. All alias always
end with “@ieee.org” for which the first part of the
alias is for you to choose.
For volunteer members is recommended using the
form [first name initials].[surname], as in “v.pacora”
but the choice is free and the intermediate dot can be used or
not. Anyway choose an alias that is easy to remember because this
is another of the reasons for having an IEEE email alias.
Updates are made through the website as well, in
the Update your alias section. https://eleccomm.ieee.org/aliases/update.shtml
There is also a way to register/update/delete an alias via e-mail
if you wish, to do so, write a blank message to “alias-info@ieee.org”
Automatically a message will be sent to you with
the instructions to make these operations, read them carefully.
