'byu.net' email alias

'byu.net' email alias:
I don't know if you already know about this, but you can get your own 'byu.net' email alias:
- goto 'byu.edu'
- click 'RouteY'
- login, or get a byu/routey id
- once you login, click 'email alias manager'
- there you can setup aliases, where people email to a 'byu.net' addr, which then forwards the email to another email addr of your choosing

Thus, you can tell people your 'byu.net' address, and then change the underlying aliased address whenever you change email accounts. People will always have the right email for you - neat. Of course, you want to avoid using the byu.net address with those you don't want to get spam from.
