Chapter 31 KMS Web AdministrationThe following examples illustrate the use of aliases:1. A company needs to use email to communicate internal information to employees. Forthis purpose, a public mail folder can be created in Kerio WebMail and the messages canbe sent using an alias.All messages sent to info@company.com will be stored in the Info public folder. The aliasis defined as follows:info → #public@company.com/Info2. Messages sent to invalid addresses (i.e. addresses where the part before the @ sign hasno corresponding user account nor alias) can be delivered to a selected user or group ofusers (see figure 31.20). Use the following alias to achieve this:* → AdminsIf this (or the next) alias is not defined, Kerio MailServer returns such messages to theirsenders as undeliverable.3. The * symbol is used as a substitution of any number of characters in an alias (e.g.: *sms*,a*00*, etc.). The alias will be applied to all email addresses that conform to this mask.4. To replace just one symbol or character in an alias (usually used in case that users haveproblems to remember corresponding email address), use the ? symbol. (for example,?ime stands for time, dime, etc.).Note: Aliases can be used also for assigning another email address to a user or a group, orforwarding messages for a user or a group to other addresses. However, it is recommendedto specify these settings directly during the process of user definition (see chapter 31.7), orgroup definition (see chapter 31.8).Aliases managementTo define aliases, use the Aliases section.Click the Add Alias button to display a dialog where a new alias can be created.Alias nameA virtual address (e.g. sales or john.wayne).The aliases always apply to a specific domain.
