Alternative Addresses

Alternative addresses (Figure 3.39) allow you on the one hand to have practical logins which are easily to manage and on the other hand the confort to use more personalized e-mail addresses. This way the user can have an e-mail address with which he identifies himself more.

All mails that are sent to any defined alternative e-mail user address are delivered to the inbox respectively.

Example:  name  : John Smith
          login : jsmith
          email : jsmith@domain.com

          Alternative Addresses:
          john_smith@domain.com
          john.smith@domain.com
          john@domain.com

Whenever you want to you can access the e-mail address list (IPBrick user e-mail address arranged in groups) and change the names or the user of an e-mail address. Is it obvious that when you change the user of an alternative e-mail address new mails will be delivered to the new user while the other alternative addresses stay with the old user.
