Topic: New user. Question about aliases

Hi,

Just installed iRedMail on an embedded Linux box. All gone well.
This is to replace my existing system which also used postfix but without virtual domains/users.

Before the system goes "live", just one question:

I have a number of aliases on my email account. Example:

jdt.ebay@example.com  goes straight to jdt@example.com

What is the best way to set this up?
Previously I edited the aliases file then ran newaliases.
Now with this virtual system is this done with a MySQL database?

Is there a simple web-based way of administering this per user?

Any help (for a simpleton) will be apriciated. Thanks in advance.

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: Latest
- Store mail accounts in which backend: MySQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 7 Wheezy

You can add this alias in SQL table "vmail.alias", for example:

mysql> USE vmail;
mysql> INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, domain) VALUES ('jdt.ebay@example.com', 'jdt@example.com', 'example.com');

Check out our official web admin panel here:

NOTE: It doesn't provide self-service for mail users, you have to login as domain admin.
