Creating Email Aliases

When you create an alias, you are creating an email address that points to an actual email account or accounts. For example, the alias sales@mydomain.com can point to joe@mydomain.com, mary@mydomain.com, and bill@mydomain.com. Each of those recipients (Mary, Joe, and Bill) would receive the message that was sent to sales@mydomain.com

1. Log in to the control panel at http://mailadmin.wisnet.com
2. Click the Email Accounts link.
3. Click the Aliases link.
4. If prompted, select a domain from the list. Or, to change domains, click the change domain link.
5. Click the Add Alias button.
6. Enter a unique alias name in the Alias box.
7. Click the arrow on the Filter drop-down menu and select All. Or, to view addresses according to the first letter, select a letter from the list. To search for a specific address, enter the username in the Search for Users box and click the Go button.
8. Click once on the address you want to add, and then click the Add button. The address will appear in the right-hand box.
9. Repeat Step 8 for each address you want to add.
10. You can send email from this alias to up to 50 total email addresses, four of which can be outside of your domain. To add an address outside of your domain, enter it in the Addresses Outside of this Domain section. We do not recommend delivering an alias’ messages to an account outside of your domain because the messages will bypass your domain’s spam filters.
11. Click the Save button.

Note: If you are unable to create a new account because you have reached your maximum number of mailboxes, you can click the Upgrades link to submit a request for more mailboxes.
