Alias Administration

How to get here

An e-mail alias is an alternative for a user's e-mail address, a group of user's e-mail addresses, or an application that performs additional e-mail functions. An e-mail alias looks like an e-mail address, but it is a name defined within an e-mail domain to represent a logon name. Therefore more than one e-mail alias may refer to a POP3 account. IMail Server supports the following alias types:

• Standard alias
• Group alias
• Program alias
• Beeper or Pager alias
• Domain alias

To comply with the Internet mail RFC specifications, you must have a postmaster alias so Internet mail users can send mail to postmaster@your_domain_name. IMail Server automatically sets up the postmaster alias to point to the root account. You can change the postmaster alias to point to a different mail account.
