This article will introduce alias to create the same account mailbox for multiple domains.
I will take an example to explain it.
Case 1:
Suppose we need to create
info@abc.com.tw
info@def.com.tw
info@ghi.com.tw
for different users.
Because MAILD shares only one user list for all domains, therefore, you can not just simply create "info" accounts for different users, you need to use ALIAS.
You can simply use alias to achieve the goal:
user "peter" is
responsible for info@abc.com.tw
user "mary" is responsible for info@def.com.tw
user "bob" is responsible for info@ghi.com.tw
- First of all , you need reserve the "info" for alias usage, therefore please do not create "info" account in user management.
- Go to peter account, swith to alias tab, create alias "info@abc.com.tw".
- Go to mary account, swith to alias tab, create alias "info@def.com.tw"
- Go to bob account, swith to alias tab, create alias "info@ghi.com.tw"
When you done these three aliases, if someone send mail to info@abc.com.tw, the mail will go to peter mailbox; if someone send mail to info@def.com.tw, the mail will go to mary mailbox ; if someone send mail to info@ghi.com.tw, the mail will go to bob mailbox. And peter, mary, bob also can use their alias email to send mail to internet.
Case 2:
Suppose we want to create three standalone accounts for peter with above three domains. Then peter could setup three accounts in his outlook to retrieve mail from
peter@abc.com.tw
peter@def.com.tw
peter@ghi.com.tw
Thus, you need to create three accounts such as peter1, peter2, peter3 for him and add alias to them in user management.
Go to peter1, add alias peter@abc.com.tw
Go to peter2, add alias peter@def.com.tw
Go to peter3, add alias peter@ghi.com.tw
When it's done, peter could create three accounts in his outlook to retrieve mail.
peter1 is for peter@abc.com.tw
peter2 is for peter@def.com.tw
peter3 is for peter@ghi.com.tw
Thanks for your reading.
