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:

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.
