Hi there,

My understanding of aliases comes from using and configuring Sendmail manually (i.e., using the CLI and configuration files, not control panels) for years, and matches the description in the Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_alias#Usage . By the author's own description, Postfix "has a definite Sendmail-ish flavour", and even keeps the same /etc/aliases file from Sendmail.

In short, I create a storage account (i.e., mail box, "user" in iRedAdmin-Pro parlance) and then I create "aliases" for that account. So for example, I create the storage account craig@example.com, and then I create aliases for that account (e.g., info@example.com and webmaster@example.com). Email sent to info@example.com is delivered to and stored in craig@example.com. Domain aliases work exactly like this under iRedAdmin-Pro.

But how do I do this using iRedAdmin-Pro? The term "alias" in iRedAdmin-Pro seems to me to refer to mailing lists (and in non-SQL back ends it seems to be named that way, judging by http://www.iredmail.org/docs/sql.create.mail.alias.html ), not what I understand to be aliases. In the example above, info and webmaster are not mailing lists, they're aliases.

It looks backwards to me under iRedAdmin-Pro; whereas above, the info and webmaster aliases above could be considered "members" of the craig user (although I'm not aware of anyone actually describing them using that terminology), iRedAdmin-Pro seems to take the opposite view, with "users" being members of an "alias". This makes sense if you think of aliases as being maling lists, but then I don't see a way to create aliases as I have described them above.

Am I missing something? Using my example above (craig, info and webmaster), how do I create aliases of the user craig under iRedAdmin-Pro?

Thanks.

Craig
