I used �passw0rd� as a temp password for those accounts. It looks like the account I was testing with was an alias, however, the alias and the main username were both showing up in the �Search accounts� area of the admin console. That particular account�s password did not change, but it looks like the others did. Any ideas why an alias would show up in the regular account list?

It probably exists in nwauth.*, possibly it was created as an account as well as an alias.

I just coordinated with a customer that I would change passwords at a certain time. I built a batch file using �tellmail change_pass <user@domain.com> <newpassword>�, and it�s been 15 minutes with no change to the accounts� passwords. I see the changes sitting in nwauth.add, but when I try to login it tells me invalid password. Is there a different way I should go about doing this, or is this possibly a bug?

If the change is in nwauth.add then it's already occurred.

Maybe if you used unusual characters the tellmail command lost them through the command line process, try testing with a simple password...
