Alias Names

Alias names redirect mail to single users. For instance, the user Tom Jones with user name "tom" may want to receive mail as "tjones". In this case, you would add an alias with the name "tjones" and the single recipient "tom." If John Smith, with user name "john," has left and wants to receive mail at his new address of jsmith at "otherdomain," add an alias that maps "john" to "jsmith@otherdomain."

To Modify the System and Mail Administrator Aliases

   The Mail Administration page is displayed.

   Note -

   If the Netra software has been installed onto a server that mounts /var/mail from a remote server, mail is handled by the remote server. This situation requires that the members of the administrator aliases are valid mail addresses on the remote server.
