1) While in Mail Tool
Select Edit -> Properties -> Alias and then define your alias.
I've tried this, it work perfectly. I'm yet to try other method.
2) Look at the manpages:
aliases, addresses, forward (5) - addresses and aliases for sendmail
newaliases (8) - rebuild the data base for the mail aliases
3) I also get a script file to insert a front end to sendmail to pick up
special addresses. Write to me personnally to get that.
4) You can define aliases in .mailrc (if you are using sendmail) or in
/etc/aliases. See man sendmail.
Thanks a million for the reply
