What is an e-mail alias?

An email alias is a name@yourdomain.com that does not have a corresponding POP3 box set up. For example, if you have a POP3 box called sales that is your default, but you have not created any others, mail to anyone@yourdomain.com will be sent to the sales box. If someone were to email webmaster@yourdomain.com, in this example, that mail would be forwarded to the sales POP3 box.
