Understanding Maildomain Aliases

Mail resources on a mail domain that has a mail domain alias will all have alternative addresses. Mail resources and their aliases will have different domain parts (i.e. mail domain and its alias) and the same resource names. For instance, with example.net being a mail alias to example.com, every mail resource on example.com will have a counterpart on example.net, specifically:
   mailbox@example.net will be an alternative mail address to mailbox@example.com
   mailforward@example.net will be an alternative mail address to mailforward@example.com
   autoresponder@example.net will be an alternative mail address to autoresponder@example.com
etc.

 

Creating Mail Domain Aliases

  1. Select the Domain Settings menu.
  2. If there are several domains on the page that appears, choose the one that you'd like to create mail domain alias for.
  3. At the bottom of the form, click Add to add a totally new domain alias or Edit to use your domain alias with mail service:
  4. On the next page, when creating or editing existing domain alias make sure Mail Domain Alias is on:
  5. Select Mail Info in the Mail Info menu to check whether Mail Domain Alias has been activated:

Note that on the Mail Settings page you can create mail domain aliases only based on existing domain aliases.
