FreeBSD Basic Hosting E-mail - aliases

An e-Mail alias is simply a forwarding e-mail address. Each e-mail alias you create simply forwards e-mail on to any e-mail address that you specify. E-Mail aliases are often used to create handy replacements for long or difficult-to-remember e-mail addresses. They can also be used to create generic e-mail addresses such as webmaster@yourcompany.com and info@yourcompany.com.

For example, say you want to create a webmaster e-mail alias on the yourcompany.com Basic Plus Hosting account that automatically and immediately forwards to your local ISP e-mail account, you@your-isp.com. On the yourcompany.com Basic Plus Account you would create an e-mail alias like this:

webmaster: you@your-isp.com

It's that easy! And you can create up to 20 e-mail aliases for your FreeBSD Basic Hosting Hosting account.

Creating and Managing E-Mail Aliases

To create e-mail aliases on your Basic Plus Hosting account log into iManager and navigate to:
