Email aliases
Each registered user on the Qube 2 must have a unique user name (for
example, mary or john.smith or khoward). This user name is used to
send or retrieve email.
The Email Alias feature allows you to create an arbitrary email address
without creating a user account on the Qube 2. An email message
addressed to the alias is forwarded to an existing email address.
If you add more than one alias for a user, enter one alias per line. You
can only use lowercase alphanumeric characters, periods (.), hyphens (-)
and underscores (_) in the alias.
Let us say that the XYZ Company has a Qube 2 and that the company’s
domain name is xyz.com. The email addresses for the users of the
Qube 2 is <username>@xyz.com. Employee Timothy Stonis has a user
name of “tstonis”; his email address is “tstonis@xyz.com”.
A user can have several email aliases that point to a his or her user
name. For example, Timothy Stonis can have can have the aliases
“timothy@xyz.com” and “tim.stonis@abc.com”; if he were an avid
soccer player, he might want to use the alias “striker@xyz.com”. All of
these aliases point to his user name <tstonis> at xyz.com. Emails
addressed to any of these aliases are forwarded to “tstonis@xyz.com”.
However, having a large number of aliases for each user can cause
problems. If a new user is added and the user name that is automatically
generated by the Qube 2 is already in use, a warning appears in the help
text at the bottom of the screen, stating that <username> is already in
use as a mailing list or alias. The Qube 2 does not accept the New User
entry.
Following the previous example, let us say that Timothy Howard is a
new employee at the XYZ Company. If he wanted to have “timothy” as
his user name, the Qube 2 help text would state that “Name timothy is
already in use as a mailing list or alias.”
A Qube 2 Administrator can also set up aliases such as
webmaster@xyz.com, info@xyz.com, sales@xyz.com,
comments@xyz.com or support@xyz.com that point to a specific user
name.
