Once you have understood what an
Email Forward / Alias
is, follow the procedure outlined below, to define one:
1. From the
Email management
interface, go to Email Addresses -> Add
2. Here, enter the name for the Email address that you wish to
create.
3. Now, click on the Define Email Forwards
checkbox and decide whether you wish to forward emails coming to this email
address to a Local Email address or a Remote one.
a. Local Email Address - If you have
created another Email Box for this domain name previously, then this would
appear in the left hand box and you can select one or more of these Email Boxes
to receive a copy each, of all mails sent to your forwarded email address.
For example, if your domain name is
yourcompany.com and you want to forward
sales@yourcompany.com to
info@yourcompany.com, then info is a local email address for your domain
name.
b. Remote Email Address - You can choose
to forward emails to one or more external email addresses (on a different domain
name) by specifying each one of these on separate lines in the provided text
box.
For example, if your domain name is
yourcompany.com and you want to forward a copy of all mails received by
sales@yourcompany.com to
yourcompany@yahoo.com and
yourcompany@hotmail.com, then you
would enter both the latter email addresses on separate lines in the provided
text box.
Furthermore, you can set Advanced Email
Forward Options by clicking on the Define Wild-Carded Destinations
button and mentioning separate domain names in each line, if the name of the
email box in both the source domain name and the destination domain name are the
same.
For example, if your domain name is
yourcompany.com and you want to forward a copy of all mails received by
sales@yourcompany.com to
sales@somename.com and
sales@someothername.com, then you
can set a wild-carded destination since the email box sales is common in both
the source domain name (yourcompany.com) and the destination domain names (somename.com,
someothername.com).
5. Click on the Submit button to save
your settings.
