Aliases

An alias forwards mail from a non-existing address to one or more destinations. Recipients can be local or external.

Aliases are managed via Postfix. Each alias has one source address and one or more destination addresses. Mail sent to the alias is forwarded to all configured destinations: the alias itself does not store any mail.

Creating an Alias​

1. Go to OpenPanel > Email > Aliases.

2. Click New Alias.

3. Fill in the form:

   Field	Description
   Domain	The domain the alias will belong to (e.g. yourdomain.com)
   Alias address	The local part of the alias (e.g. info → [email protected])
   Destination address	The address that mail will be forwarded to

4. Click Create Alias.

The destination can be any valid email address, either on this server or external.

Managing an Alias​

Click Manage next to any alias to open its detail page. From there you can:

• Add a destination: enter an email address and click Add Destination. A single alias can forward to multiple addresses simultaneously.
• Remove a destination: click Remove next to any destination. If all destinations are removed the alias stops delivering mail.
• Delete the alias: permanently removes the alias address and all its destinations. This cannot be undone.

Bulk Actions​

Tick the checkbox of one or more aliases, or the checkbox in the table header to select every alias shown by the current search. A bar appears at the bottom of the page with the number selected, a Clear link and these actions:

Click an action, confirm it, and it runs on the selected aliases one after another. When it's done the page reloads with a notice listing the aliases it worked for, or which ones failed and why.
