What is a distribution list?
A distribution list (formerly called Aliases) allow you to receive emails to one address, which are then distributed among multiple recipients .
For example,
sales@yourcompany.com,
support@yourcompany.com and
marketing@yourcompany.com are all examples of a distribution list since
emails received to these addresses are typically forwarded to multiple individuals in a company.
How to create a distribution list?
Follow the steps below to create a distribution list.
- Log in to Admin Console as administrator
- Select Manage Distribution List under Server Configuration
- Type sales@YourCompany.com for New List Name
- Type bob@YourCompany.com, John@YourCompany.com, Mary@YourCompany.com for the Forward To Addresses field.
Notice that multiple addresses are separated by a comma.
- Click the Save button
Now you should see your newly created list below.
