The AXS GUARD uses a special header to avoid e-mail loops when the auto-response option (e.g.
vacation message) is enabled. See
Section 2.9, “Auto-Response Settings”
for more information.
2.7. Aliases
2.7.1. Definition
An e-mail alias is a forwarding mechanism which allows system administrators to create and link one or more
alternate e-mail addresses to a single mailbox. E-mails sent to the alias e-mail address are automatically
forwarded to the appropriate mailbox. The alias concept is illustrated below.
Some aliases are required on all MTA’s, such as the
postmaster@domain.com
e-mail address. This e-
mail address is used to report MTA problems. Other e-mail aliases are automatically created on the AXS
GUARD, e.g.
sysdeamon@domain.com
,
spam@domain.com
, etc. The postmaster e-mail alias is linked
to the sysadmin user, unless specified otherwise. More information about the AXS GUARD sysadmin user
is available in the AXS GUARD System Administration How To, which is accessible via the Documentation
button in the Administrator Tool.
