Configuring email aliases and address masquerades
You can configure email address aliases, also known as distribution lists, and email address masquerades.
Email aliases and address masquerades describes how you can implement address masquerading on inbound mail, outbound mail, or both. You can perform these tasks as needed in any order.
Task | Description |
|---|---|
Learn more about aliases and address masquerades. | An alias translates an email address into one or more destination addresses.
Windows users may understand this concept as a “distribution list.” You can add
an alias as a convenient shortcut for typing a long list of recipients. An alias can
also translate addresses from one top-level domain to another. Address masquerading is a method of concealing email addresses or domain names
behind the mail gateway by assigning replacement values to them. |
Add new aliases or modify existing ones. |
Specify one and only one source email address or domain for each alias that you
enter. |
Import an alias file. | Aliases can be imported from a text file. |
Review examples of alias source and destination addresses. | You can enter multiple destination email addresses for each alias that you enter
as a source email address. You can only enter a single destination domain, however,
for each alias that you enter as a source domain. Alias source addresses must have
local domains. Destination domains can be local or non-local domains. |
Add a new address masquerade or modify an existing one. | Symantec
Messaging Gateway lets you implement address masquerading on inbound mail,
outbound mail, or both. |
Import an address masquerade file. | In addition to creating new masqueraded entries, you can import them from a
text file similar to the Sendmail virtusertable. |
Configure Symantec Messaging Gateway to ignore text casing in addresses. | When you enable this option, the MTA ignores the text case of the local part of addresses for address masquerading, aliases, and probe accounts. |
