Email Aliases An email alias is simply a forwarding email address. Each email alias you create simply forwards email on to any email address that you specify. Email aliases are often used to create handy replacements for long or difficult-to-remember email addresses. They can also be used to create generic email addresses such as webmaster@yourcompany.com and info@yourcompany.com. For example, say you want to create a webmaster email alias on the yourcompany.com Virtual Server that automatically and immediately forwards to your local ISP email account, you@your-isp.com. On the yourcompany.com Virtual Server, you would create an email alias like this: webmaster: you@your-isp.com Creating Email Aliases There are several methods you can use to create email aliases on your Virtual Server. iManager iManager Tools and Wizards allow you to use your own web browser to easily create e-mail aliases on your Virtual Server.
