An email alias is an alternate email address that forwards to another mailbox.
Why it matters:
- Lets users have multiple addresses (like info@, support@, or billing@) that all deliver to one inbox.
- Keeps personal addresses private while maintaining professionalism.
- Useful for routing mail to shared teams.
Pro tip: Use aliases for roles, not individuals — that way, the address stays valid even if team members change.
