Mail Alias

Creating a Mail Alias

To mask a personal email address from the general public or to provide a stable mailing address for organizations, you can create a mail alias that redirects incoming mail to a valid personal email address. Mail aliases are available to Exchange, Twilight and Fallon users, as long as they are related to University business.

To request a mail alias, send an email to the Help Desk that includes the following required information. Incomplete information delays the creation of your mail alias. Each alias is linked to a single email address.

Alias Name: 6-8 lowercase letters (no spaces, capitalization, and/or special characters allowed)
Owner Name/
Email Address:

Name and email address of one (1) owner, created on same machine as the owner's email address

Purpose: Short description of purpose for the alias
