Creating Alias Maps for Custom Groups
To create alias maps for custom groups:
Example: if email aliases have been configured using directory services or the Custom alias maps feature, and alias support is turned on, the Email Appliance applies these same aliases for policy filtering and user preferences. For example, if you have an alias that redirects mail destined for userA@example.com and userB@example.com to userC@example.com, the effects are as follows:
- Policy Filtering: Instances of userA@example.com and userB@example.com are interpreted as userC@example.com when messages are processed by the policy. Any explicit references to userA@example.com and userB@example in the policy are ignored.
- Quarantine Summaries: If the Email Appliance is configured to email quarantine summaries, the summaries for userA@example.com and userB@example.com are mailed to userC@example.com only.
- User Block Lists: Messages addressed to userA@example.com and userB@example.com, which are subsequently blocked, are stored in the Blocked Messages list for userC@example.com.
