Configuring Aliases

To Create a Mail Alias

1. From the Main Administration page, under "Network Service Administration," click Mail, then click Add a mail alias.

   The Add A Mail Alias page is displayed.

2. Type the information in the form using the following table.

   Table 3-4 Information for Mail Alias Administration

   Option	Description
   Alias Name	The name of the mail alias. A copy of all mail sent to the alias is sent to each member of the alias. Alias names:  o Must be at least one character and no more than 20 characters  o Must begin with a letter, and can include letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, and periods  o Are case insensitive  o Must be unique
   Alias Members	A list of people, one per line, who receive mail sent to the alias. Each line must be a valid email address.     There is a limit on the size of the entry made to the system (the entries together with comma separators must not exceed 1000 characters). Netra issues a warning if your alias exceeds this limit. You can use nested aliases to circumvent this restriction.

   Note -

   You can use Netra to administer only aliases whose member list is other users specified in the alias file. You cannot administer aliases that send mail to programs or to files.
