E-Mail List/Administration

Aliases and Forwards (What is an Alias Account?)

Every e-mail listed under an Alias account will receive mail

Setup Overview:

Create an real E-Mail account called abc@yourdomain.com
Then create an Alias account test@yourdomain.com and assign it to abc@yourdomain.com
Alias accounts can also have E-Mail addresses from any other providers: xyz@website.com

E-Mail Account: Local e-mails owned by you
E-Mail Address: Mail account hosted with another provider; external account

Alias accounts MUST have real e-mail accounts to connect before they can work. Aliases CANNOT work by themselves.

Net effect:

Mail sent to test@yourdomain.com (Alias account) will relay e-mail to abc@yourdomain.com (real mail account) and will forward to xyz@website.com (real mail account hosted with another provider)

What Is An Alias?

An alias is a nickname for a real email account. You can use aliases to create several email addresses that all point to the same mailbox. You cannot have an alias with the same name as any other email feature on your domain. To set up an alias, click on 'New Aliases' under 'Quick Links.' Choose the email address you wish to create the alias for from the drop-down menu, and enter the name of the alias. For example, if you create an alias named 'Front' and set it to correspond to the 'Postmaster' email account, any mail sent to 'front@yourdomain.com' would go to the Postmaster inbox. Click 'Add' to save the changes.

What Is Alias Forwarding?

A forward is a way to send any mail that comes to an account on your domain to an email address on another provider. To do this, click on 'Aliases Forwards' under 'Main Menu.' Select an Alias account. Enter the full email address where you want the mail to be sent. Click 'Add' to save the changes.
