<h2 id="create-mail-alias-account-with-iredadmin-pro">Create mail alias account with iRedAdmin-Pro</h2>
<p>With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can easily add mail list account by click menu:
<code>Add -&gt; Mail List</code> (or <code>Add -&gt; Alias</code> for SQL backends) in main
navigation bar.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="./images/iredadmin/maillist_create.png" /></p>
<h2 id="create-mail-alias-account-with-sql-command-line">Create mail alias account with SQL command line</h2>
<p>To create an mail alias account, you can simply insert a SQL record in table
<code>vmail.alias</code>. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="language-mysql">sql&gt; USE vmail;
sql&gt; INSERT INTO alias (address, goto, domain, islist) \
VALUES ('original@example.com', \
'user1@example.com,user2@example.com,user1@test.com', \
'example.com', \
1);
</code></pre>
<p><strong>NOTES</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Please always use lower cases for email addresses.</li>
<li>Multiple destination addresses must be separated by comma.</li>
<li>If destination address is a mail user under domain hosted on localhost,
it must exist. Otherwise emails sent to alias account will be bounced after
expanded to destination addresses.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="access-policy">Access policy</h2>
<p>You can restrict which senders are allowed to send email to this mail alias
account by adding proper policy name in SQL column <code>alias.accesspolicy</code>.
For example:</p>
<pre><code>sql&gt; UPDATE alias SET accesspolicy='domain' WHERE address='original@example.com';
</code></pre>
<p>Available access policies are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>public</code>: no restrictions.</li>
<li><code>domain</code>: all users under same domain are allowed to send email to this mail list.</li>
<li><code>subdomain</code>: all users under same domain and sub-domains are allowed to send email to this mail list.</li>
<li><code>membersonly</code>: only members of this mail list are allowd.</li>
<li><code>allowedonly</code>: only moderators of this mail list are allowed. Moderators
are email addresses stored in SQL column <code>alias.moderators</code>. With iRedAPD-1.4.5,
it's ok to use <code>*@domain.com</code> as (one of) moderator for all users under
mail domain 'domain.com'.</li>
<li><code>membersandmoderatorsonly</code>: only members and moderators of this mail list are allowed.</li>
</ul>
<p>Access restriction is implemented in iRedAPD (a simple Postfix policy server),
iRedMail has it enabled by default. You'd better check its config file
<code>/opt/iredapd/settings.py</code> to make sure plugin <code>sql_alias_access_policy</code> is
enabled in parameter <code>plugins = []</code>.</p>
