Mail domain Aliases

Understanding Mail domain 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:

•    e-mail box@example.net will be an alternative e-mail address to e-mail box@example.com;

•    mail forward@example.net will be an alternative e-mail address to mail forward@example.com;

•    autoresponder@example.net will be an alternative e-mail address to autoresponder@example.com etc.
