Alias Email

Question

Is there a way to have alias email instead of multiple email account? Like auto-forwarding email to the main email without creating other email accounts? And email accounts from a different domain? We're running the standalone version.

Answer

Standalone only.

Create /home/crossbox/app/config/exim/virtual_domains file that contains a list of domains you want to forward from:

domain-one.com
domain-two.net
domain-three.org

Next, go to /home/crossbox/app/config/exim/virtual and for each domain create a separate file with the domain name as file name, for example:

/home/crossbox/app/config/exim/virtual/domain-one.com
/home/crossbox/app/config/exim/virtual/domain-two.net
/home/crossbox/app/config/exim/virtual/domain-three.org

Within those files, define from what e-mail address(es) you want to forward and to where. For example:

* : *@domain-four.com

The example above will forward all e-mail sent to *@domain-one.com, *@domain-two.net, *@domain-three.org, to the same e-mail address at @domain-four.com

Instead of using a wildcard to match any email address, you can also be more specific like:

* : email@domain-four.com

When you're done, you'll need to run:

crossbox config reload && crossbox restart exim
