Email alias
Create and manage Qboxmail email aliases, destinations, forwarding behavior, and domain-level alias settings.
An email alias is an email address associated with one or more destination addresses to which messages received by the alias are forwarded. You can associate up to a maximum of 20 addresses with an email alias, either internal or external to Qboxmail systems.
The name chosen for the email alias cannot be the same as that of an existing email account.
You can create up to a maximum of 10 alias mailboxes free of charge for each email mailbox on the domain. If you need to create alias mailboxes with a ratio higher than 10:1 compared to the email mailboxes on the domain, please contact us.
