Email or electronic mail is the act of sending messages electronically, or with a computer, over the Internet or Intranet. Email is one of the most oft used and efficient means of global communications to date. Millions and millions of messages are sent and received daily throughout the world using this method.

Email Alias

You have an Email address of employee1@mycompany.com. You have nine other similarly configured EMail boxes for your company. Within your site, you wish to allow your customers to send you mail pertaining to a specific topic such as INFO or ADMIN. An Email alias is created such as info@mycompany.com and it automagically forwards all mail received to you at employee1@mycompany.com. You now have, in effect, double the amount of Email addresses!
