Alibaba Mail:How to Add Multiple Domains and Domain Aliases?

Last Updated:Nov 22, 2024

This topic describes how to add multiple domains and domain aliases.

Domain Name:

Domain name refers to the suffix that can be selected when creating email accounts and Alibaba Mail supports the creation of multiple domain names (the multi-domain numbers are allocated according to the upper limit according to the number of accounts). If an enterprise has both domain name example.net and domain name example1.net, and the postmaster adds both of them to Alibaba Mail. Then postmaster can choose to use @example.net or @example1.net when creating email accounts. After creation, a***@example.net and a***@example1.net represent two independent email accounts.

Note

Multi-domains are allocated proportionally based on the number of accounts as follows:

When the number of paid accounts reaches 10, the number of multi-domain subdomains is 10 by default;

When the number of paid accounts reaches 50, the number of multi-domain subdomains is 30 by default;

When the number of paid accounts reaches 500, the number of multi-domain subdomains is 100 by default.

How to Add Multiple Domains?

How to Add the Domain Alias?

The alias of the primary domain name supports five domain aliases can be mapped to the same primary domain name. All users under the primary domain name can use the domain alias to send and receive messages. For example, if the main domain name is example.net and the bound domain alias is example1.net, then logging in to a***@example.net and a***@example1.net is actually accessing the same mailbox, and the mail sent to a***@example.net is also sent to a***@example1.net.

Note

You can add up to five domain aliases for each domain name.
