Add an alias

The Situation:

"I need to configure an e-mail alias to forward mail from one address to another. How do I do that?"

Suggested Action:

Imail offers two different mail services. The most common service is the POP account, which provides an actual "mailbox" on the system that holds messages for a given user name. The other option -- aliasing -- allows users to create an address that redirects mail to another existing e-mail account. This works both for e-mail addresses at the host site and e-mail addresses at other sites.

For example, assume that a user wants mail for sales@domain.com and info@domain.com to go to a single existing e-mail address -- webmaster@domain.com. The user could create aliases for "sales" and "info," then point both of them to the POP account "webmaster."

To create an alias:

Log in to the IMail interface with the administrative user name (this is usually the default www123_4 style user name used for FTP and FrontPage functions).

Click on "User Administration."

Click on the "Add Alias" button.

Two fields will appear:

Alias:
Destination:

Under "Alias," type just the name that mail should be forwarded from. For example, to forward mail from sales@yourdomain.com to another e-mail address, use the name sales in the "alias" box.

Under "Destination," type the full e-mail address that all mail under the "Alias" section should go to. For instance, to send the mail from the previous sales@yourdomain.com example to the existing e-mail account webmaster@yourdomain.com, configure the fields like this:

Alias: sales
Destination: webmaster@yourdomain.com

Click "save." When the system finishes, click "Return to Admin" to continue adding and modifying users or aliases.
