Hi,

I have a standard Postfix/Cyrus setup with email account like [email protected]. Users authenticate via IMAP. I want to create an email alias account like [email protected] and authenticate it to the same IMAP mailbox as [email protected].

Can I do this via Postfix aliases? What are the possibilities here.

Regards, Angel
