Thank you. I tried to set that to fullname only, however, that also
prevents the users from getting email under aliases that are configured
in the Short Name field.

As it is right now, I guess the only way to stop the emails to
firstname@domain.com is to just create a rule in the user's mail database.

Thanks for your help.
