How to add an alias domain name

What an alias domain is used for? Let's say you have a mail domain 'example.com' hosted on your iRedMail server, if you add domain name domain.ltd as an alias domain of example.com, all emails sent to username@domain.ltd will be delivered to user username@example.com's mailbox.

NOTE: With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can simply add alias domain name in domain profile page, under tab Aliases. Screenshot for your reference: http://www.iredmail.org/images/iredadmin/domain_profile_alias.png

How to add an alias domain with phpLDAPadmin:
