# Alias Administration

Alias administration allows the administrator to add, display, modify, or delete an alias.

An Alias is another name for an e-mail address, a number of addresses, or an application. Don't create aliases that are identical to existing user ID's. Mail addressed to an alias that is identical to a user ID will go to the user account represented by the alias, not to the account represented by the user ID.

Standard Alias. A standard alias is a name that indicates a single user ID on the same system, up to four user ID's on the same system,a remote mail address, up to four remote mail addresses or any combination of these.
