This article describes how to configure e-mail aliases in Plesk. E-mail aliases enable you to keep your e-mail address private. For example, if your main e-mail address is kelly@example.com, you probably do not want to publish it on the internet and receive spam. Instead, you can create an alias (for example, comments@example.com) and publish that address instead. When messages arrive for comments@example.com, you receive them in your kelly@example.com inbox.

Configuring an e-mail alias

To configure an e-mail alias, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to Plesk.
    If you do not know how to log in to your Plesk account, please see this article.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Mail.
  3. On the Mail page, click the e-mail address for which you want to create an alias.
  4. Click the Email Aliases tab.
  5. In the Email alias text box, type the alias for the e-mail address.
    You can specify multiple aliases. To do this, click Add email alias, and then type the additional alias or aliases.
  6. Click OK. Plesk activates the alias (or aliases) for the e-mail account.
