# Create Email Pseudonyms

The server automatically creates an email alias for each group. If you want to define an email alias for a list of users, simply create a group and the list is automatically maintained by the server.

Pseudonyms allow you to create other names for existing users or groups. For example, you may wish to create a pseudonym "webmaster" for your "webdevelopers" group or a pseudonym "joe" for the user "joseph".

The server automatically creates pseudonyms in the format of firstname.lastname and firstname_lastname for every user on the system as well as a pseudonym "everyone" which contains all users on the system.

To create an email pseudonym for an account or group:

1. Under Collaboration, click create Pseudonyms.

2. Click Add pseudonym.

3. Enter the pseudonym. A pseudonym can only consist of the following:

1. - lower-case letters,

   - numbers

   - periods

   - hyphens,

   - and under scores

For example, "sales", "john.hollan", "123", and "email-administrator" are valid pseudonyms, but "John Smith" or "Henry Miller" are not.

4. Select the account or group to which you want the pseudonym to apply.

5. Click Add.

To modify or remove a pseudonym click the Modify or Remove command next to the pseudonym.
