Alias Agent: Global Aliases

Global aliases are applied to messages passing through the monitored queues of all Alias Agents in your NIMS system. For global aliases, all Alias Agents search a shared alias table that includes entries contributed by Alias Agents throughout your NIMS system.

Alias Table
To build a global alias table, type one alias per line followed by a hard return, just as you would for a local alias table. Use the following syntax:

alias = username

For example, if a user's user name were SJones and he wanted to be known also by SteveJ, you would enter:

SteveJ = SJones

Users could then address email to SteveJ and it would be delivered to SJones' mailbox.

You could also set up a global alias such as feedback@company.com that would automatically go to whomever you specify in the global alias. The destination can be either a local or remote email address.

When you are finished entering aliases, click Apply to create the global alias table.
