Understanding Maildomain Aliases
Mail resources on a mail domain that has a mail domain alias will all
have alternative addresses. Mail resources and their aliases will have different
domain parts (i.e. mail domain and its alias) and the same resource names. For
instance, with example.net being a mail alias to example.com,
every mail resource on example.com will have a counterpart on example.net,
specifically:
mailbox@example.net will be an alternative mail address
to mailbox@example.com
mailforward@example.net will be an alternative mail
address to mailforward@example.com
autoresponder@example.net will be an alternative mail
address to autoresponder@example.com
etc.
