Mailmaps

A mailmap is an inbound email forwarding feature where users can create an alias (example@yourdomain.com) and have messages sent to said alias forwarded to a valid third-party email address such as Gmail, Hotmail, etc.

However, users should note that the job of a mailmap is to forward messages to your destination address ONLY. When responding to these forwarded emails, you will respond from the destination address itself, not the mailmap. Since mailmaps have no authentication, there aren’t any credentials you can provide your mail provider for outbound delivery. This is simply an inbound mail forwarding delivery service.

For example, if the destination address you’ve specified is your Gmail address, the sender will see this address when you respond to that message. However, some third-party email hosts allow the customisation of your response back address, so check your settings to see if this is possible.

Users can create either a standard mailmap or an easyMail mailmap. The difference between the two other than easyMail mailmaps are only offered with service levels that allow for easyMail service, is standard mail maps are SRS enabled.
