Mail Alias: What is a mail alias?
- A simple mail reflector where copies of mail sent to the alias forwards to one or more email addresses. This is a manually maintained list.
- A shared mailbox typically allows one copy of email to be delivered to a separate inbox accessed by multiple people. Shared mailbox setup differs depending on whether all persons who need access to the shared mailbox ARE on the central Exchange mail server or ARE NOT on the central Exchange mail server.
- Form to request a shared mailbox (faculty and staff only)
- To delete a shared mailbox, please submit a request and provide the shared mailbox name.
- To request access changes for a shared mailbox, please submit a request and provide the shared mailbox name and the names and UDelNet IDs of the people who need access added or removed. If you are requesting to add people, please indicate if they need "Send-As" access (ability to send mail from the shared mailbox id) in addition to "Full Access."
Aliases are commonly used when there is a need to create a special id for an organization or department.
