Aliases 4 Email Accounts

[SpeedingDragon]

Hi, can I have 'aliases' for my email account?

Example if my email address was me@thedomain.com can I also have an alias as me2@thedomain.com and it goes to the 1st email address like I currently have on my dedicated server email system?

Thanks,

D

im sure someone could get more technical than this but you probably would just set up an email forwarder on your alias account

Yes, email forwarders will help you do this.

Hi, I have the same question as speedingdragon, and have added a forwarder... but this just forwards a copy of the message to a new address. I've seen in other hosting set ups that I've had the ability to set up an "alias", which just automatically forwards the message sent from one address to another, without having an actual mailbox for the first address. Does that make sense? and if so, is it possible with cpanel/hostmonster? any help is appreciated, thanks!

As sjlplat said, you can accomplish what you are trying to do with email forwards.

Simply create a new forward from a "fake"/alias email address to a real one.
