    I initially created my sysop account with my fullname.

    2026-01-03 22:24:04 /sbbs/fido/netmail/1.msg SBBSecho (1:3634/12) To: Granville Errol Casey, Jr (1:3634/58) Attr: 0081 (PRIVATE, KILLSENT) Unkn user 2026-01-03 22:24:04 import_netmail(/sbbs/fido/netmail/1.msg) returne 12
    I have a netmail message that is using that name, but cannot be delivered, since I changed it from "Granville Errol Casey, Jr"
    to "Errol Casey"

    Yes, echocfg->NetMail Settings->Sysop Aliases. Add it there.

    How do I escape the comma? Since comma is the delimiter in the alias list.

    You can't, unfortunately.

    I
    have tried quoting
    "Granville Errol Casey, Jr" but doesn't seem to be working.

    Can any wildcards be used in the sysop alias ?1

    No, but you can set echocfg->NetMail->Default Recipient to "sysop" (that's actually the default) and any incoming netmail for a username that's not found in your userbase will be delivered to the default recipient. That should be all you need.

    Any way of reassigning the character?
