Alias Administration

Alias administration allows the administrator to add, display, modify, or delete an alias.

An Alias is another name for an e-mail address, a number of addresses, or an application. Don't create aliases that are identical to existing user ID's. Mail addressed to an alias that is identical to a user ID will go to the user account represented by the alias, not to the account represented by the user ID.

Types of Aliases

Group Alias. A group alias points to a file that contains a list of valid mail addresses.

Standard Alias. A standard alias is a name that indicates a single user ID on the same system, up to four user ID's on the same system,a remote mail address, up to four remote mail addresses or any combination of these.

  2. To display an alias, choose an alias from the list, click Display.

The Display Alias page is opened. This displays the Alias, Alias Type, the List File (if any) and the Destination for the specified alias.

Edit the alias information and click save.
