Additional ADS options

Purpose

Use this tab to add multiple identities for users of your e-mail system. When recipients of mail are looked up, messages that meet the alias criteria will be sent to the defined user in the name field.

General Use

To add an alias press the ‘Add’ button and enter the details.

Note for ADS systems: Select the domain that you will be aliasing the user for from the Domain drop down list before adding alias names. The [local] domain applies to all users who are not members of an independant domain and the [global] domain affects all names system wide.

These alias names apply to both local i-Mail users and users of remote domains when using the local lookup feature.

Note: Alias names do not work on domains that are not named. For example, if you have set up a local domain called 'company.com' and a remote domain called 'remote_company.com' and a message arrives for 'roberts@othercompany.com', this message will keep the name and either forward to postmaster or discard the message based on the unknown recipient rules, regardless of what alias names are configured..

Use the alias tab to allow a more generic design to your e-mail system. By adding multiple aliases for a user you need not worry about users not receiving their mail and having it posted to the PostMaster user. A general rule is to alias your recipients with the following common mail formats:

Another popular use for aliasing is for departmental mail for example you might set up an alias for sales or marketing to specific users.
