SQL: Add an alias domain

What is an alias domain used for?

Let's say you have a mail domain example.com hosted on your iRedMail server, if you add domain name domain.ltd as an alias domain of example.com, all emails sent to username@domain.ltd will be delivered to user username@example.com's mailbox.

How to add an alias domain with SQL commands

Adding alias domain is as simple as inserting one SQL record. Let's create two alias domains (alias-1.com, alias-2.com) for the primary domain example.com with SQL commands below (Note: we use MySQL for example, but PostgreSQL uses exactly same INSERT commands):

-- Connect to `vmail` database.
sql> USE vmail;

-- Create alias domain `alias-1.com`
sql> INSERT INTO alias_domain (alias_domain, target_domain) VALUES ('alias-1.com', 'example.com');

-- Create alias domain `alias-2.com`
sql> INSERT INTO alias_domain (alias_domain, target_domain) VALUES ('alias-2.com', 'example.com');

That's all.
