An alias is an email address that translates to one or more other email
addresses. Windows users may understand this concept as a "distribution list."
You can add an alias as a convenient shortcut for typing a long list of recipients.
An alias can also translate addresses from one top-level domain to another, such
as from example.com to example-internetsecurity.com. Email addressed to
kyi@example.com, for example, would be delivered to kyi@example-
internetsecurity.com.
Note: The alias functionality available on the Settings > Aliases page is separate
from LDAP aliases.
Note the following additional information about aliases:
Aliases are recursive. This means that an alias specified in the destination
■
email address list is expanded as defined in the list of aliases. For example,
with the aliases specified in
it@example.com would be delivered to the destination addresses for both
it@example.com and ops@example.com, because it@example.com includes
ops@example.com.
Table 3-1 Example of recursive aliases
Alias Destination addresses
it@example.com alro@example.com, oak@example.com, ops@example.com
ops@example.com tla@example.com, bmi@example.com, map@example.com
