Introduction
	An E-Mail alias is simply a forwarding E-mail address. Each E-mail alias you create forwards E-mail on to any E-mail address that you specify. E-Mail aliases are often used to create handy replacements for long or difficult to remember E-mail addresses. They can also be used to create generic E-mail addresses such as webmaster.com and info.com. For example, say you want to create a webmaster E-mail alias on the yourcompany.com Virtual Private Server that automatically forwards to your local ISP E-mail account, you-isp.com. On the yourcompany.com Virtual Private Server, you would create an E-mail alias like this: webmaster: you-isp.com It's that easy! And you can create as many E-mail aliases as you want on your Virtual Private Server: there's no limit! An alias can have multiple recipients. For example: webmaster: you-isp.com, someone-DOMAIN.NAME If you have a long list of recipients for an alias, you can use the include option to look at a list. This also comes in handy if you need to change the list frequently, since changing the list won't require you to run newaliases. To include a list, use the following format: listname: :include: /path/to/file The list file is simply a text file containing one recipient's address per line. There are a number of other things you can do with the aliases file. More information can be found in the man page: % man aliases
	Creating Aliases
	Email aliases can be viewed and edited in the /etc/mail/aliases file on your VPS. The e-mail alias you create should look something like this: alias: E-mail_address In order for sendmail to use your aliases, you must create an /etc/mail/aliases.db file which the sendmail program can read. Run the following command from the shell on your VPS v2 as the root user. newaliases
