# SQL: Create an mail alias account with SQL command line

To create an mail alias account, you can simply insert a SQL record in table
`vmail.alias`. For example:

```mysql
sql> USE vmail;
sql> INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, domain) \
     VALUES ('original@example.com', \
             'user1@example.com,user2@example.com,user1@test.com', \
             'example.com');
```

__NOTES__:

* Please always use lower cases for email addresses.
* Please separated multiple destination addresses by comma.
* If destination address is a user under domain which is hosted on localhost,
  it must exist. Otherwise emails sent to alias account will be bounced after
  expanded to destination addresses.
