For example if your company has a CEO named Bob Smith, and han email address bobsmith@yourcompany.com, you can create an alias entitled ceo@yourcompany.com which points to bobsmith@mycompany.com. The destination email address does not need to be on the same domain or even on the same server. Clients can send webmaster@mysite.com email to their ISP or third party webmail address.

Lists are aliases which have more than one recipient. For example you can create a list sales@yourcompany.com to send sales info to every member of your sales team.

Autoresponders are addresses which return a set text when they receive an email. For example faq@yourcompany.com can return your company’s faq, newsletters can return back issues of their newsletter, etc. The text must be pasted into a box in the interface.
