Kolab Now users can create one or more aliases for their email. The alias needs to be available (e.g. not already in use by another user), and the fully qualified name needs to be within a domain available to the user and hosted in the Kolab Now infrastructure. This means that john.doe@kolabnow.com can make the alias jd@kolabnow.com or john.doe@mykolab.com – but not john.doe@example.com (the domain mykolab.com is available on the Kolab Now infrastructure, but example.com is not).
