Managing alias addresses

An alias address aka e-mail alias is a simply forwarding address for one or more destination addresses. They could be used for well known role accounts like postmaster@example.net, abuse@example.com and so on or as minimalistic mailing lists.

Creating an alias

Syntax:

• vmm aliasadd alias destination
  vmm aa alias destination

To create a new alias address or add an additional destination to a present alias use this subcommand.

Examples:

hostname ~ # vmm aliasadd postmaster@example.com john.doe@example.com
hostname ~ # vmm aliasadd info@example.com jane.doe@example.com
hostname ~ # vmm aa info@example.com judy.roe@example.com
hostname ~ #

Alias information

Syntax:

• vmm aliasinfo alias
  vmm ai alias

Use this subcommand to display all destinations of an alias.

Example:

hostname ~ # vmm aliasinfo info@example.com
Alias information
-----------------
        Mail for info@example.com will be redirected to:
             * jane.doe@example.com
             * judy.roe@example.com

hostname ~ #

Deleting an alias

Syntax:

• vmm aliasdelete alias [destination]
  vmm ad alias [destination]

Use this subcommand to delete the alias.
If the optional destination address is given, only this destination will be removed from the alias.

Example:

hostname ~ # vmm aliasdelete info@example.com judy.roe@example.com
hostname ~ #
