Aliases

Aliases are used for extra email addresses that work for your mailbox. An alias email address will forward all email recieved by the aliased address to the mailbox it has been aliased to. You can think of it as a nickname for your mailbox. For example you can have an alias of matt@example.co.nz for your mailbox of matthew@example.co.nz and all emails sent to matt@example.co.nz will end up being recieved by matthew@example.co.nz.
