How to Add a SmarterMail Email Alias in the Control Panel

Posted by on September 12 2012 10:05 AM

An email alias is simply a forwarding email address. Using an email alias allows a message addressed to one mailbox to be redirected to another mailbox. For example, in a working environment with multiple email addresses, the office may want to make a central email address that distributes messages to all personnel. The alias workplace@example.com can be made for messages to be sent and then distributed to all of the employees. Note: Even though an alias acts as an email address, users cannot login to an alias like they do a standard email address since no email is ever actually stored for the alias. Emails are just sent to the list of addresses provided for the alias.
