Email Alias Configuration
The alias.cfg file allows the configuration of special aliases for incoming Internet (SMTP/SMTPS) e-mail messages into the Synchronet Mail Server.
Sample ctrl/alias.cfg file:
; $Id: alias.cfg,v 1.4 2013/01/11 08:04:48 rswindell Exp $ ; Alias User Name, number, or external forwarding address ; ------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ; wildcards (*) are allowed wildcards (*) are allowed ; can be <name> can be <name> ; or <name>@<address> or <name>@<address> ; or <name>@<address>:<port> ; or sub:<code> sysop 1 root 1 admin 1 administrator 1 abuse 1 webmaster 1 postmaster 1
Each of the above aliases are used to check for inbound email addressed to alias@your.domain.invalid. If an incoming email recipient matches one of the listed alias, the mail message is saved into user #1's mail box.
Aliases can also be setup for receiving email messages into a sub-board (e.g. for gating a mailing list) or for forwarding mail to external mail servers.
