  1. Qmail is a mail program that allows users to send and receive emails. It also has a lot of good features, one of them being aliases. You can add aliases to users who do not have an account on the system. Here is how to do it:

  2. Create an account called "alias" if it doesn't exist, and go in its home directory.

  3. Edit a file called .qmail-username where username is the alias you want to add.

  4. Add the address in the file with a & in front of it.
    Here is an example of a .qmail-username file:
    &me@mydomain.com 
    &meagain@some.other.domain.net

  5. This will forward any mail going to user "username" to the 2 listed email addresses.
