We are looking to have domain aliases setup. But if, for instance, info@domain1.com should goto me, and info@domain2.com should goto someone else, how can this be setup? I know if I put info in the Alternate Name portion of my person document, then that also works as an alias. So can I put the whole address info@domain1.com in the Alternate Name section?
Subject: aliases
Well in domino a domain alias is applied to all users the box. Those two email address would be the same address (technically). So you would have to have an mail agent to direct info@domain1.com to be sent to you and the info@domain2.com to go you someone else.
I do not think you are going to good results when you put the value domain1.com on a person document field.
HTH – Cheers
Subject: aliases - I have different experience
So - I’m posting now small lection for one of IT guys
Summary - place info@domain1.com in your short name (or user name)
place info@domain2.com in another user’s short name field (or user name field)
remove “info” from all short names to avoid multiple matches.

AndreyDmit (16:07:09): In our company user has e-mail addresses like sortname@mydomain.com for all local domains (now 4 different aliases available)
AndreyDmit (16:07:20): so you (Csaba Nagy)
AndreyDmit (16:07:50): with short name
AndreyDmit (16:07:51): CNagy
AndreyDmit (16:08:11): has 4 e-mail addresses via yours short name:
AndreyDmit (16:08:22): CNagy@mydomain.com CNagy@mydomain1.com & etc…
AndreyDmit (16:08:26): +
AndreyDmit (16:08:59): users got e-mails like it explicitly mentioned in Mail Address field
AndreyDmit (16:09:13): for you it is CsabaNa@mydomain.com
AndreyDmit (16:09:28): +
AndreyDmit (16:09:52): it is possible to add e-mail addresses via multiple short names
AndreyDmit (16:10:39): adding to your personal record in address book another short name, say
AndreyDmit (16:10:45): cccnnnaaagggyyy
AndreyDmit (16:10:58): will add to you 4 e-mail addresses
AndreyDmit (16:11:22): like cccnnnaaagggyyy@mydomain.com cccnnnaaagggyyy@mydomain1.com & etc
AndreyDmit (16:11:58): to avoid such situation
AndreyDmit (16:12:15): we can add complete e-mail address as short name:
AndreyDmit (16:12:26): cccnnnaaagggyyy@nts-cze.com
AndreyDmit (16:12:39): this will add to you only one address
AndreyDmit (16:13:08): thats all with incoming e-mail address
Csaba Nagy TUM (16:13:12): (aha, good to know)
AndreyDmit (16:13:51): 2. Outgoing e-mail
AndreyDmit (16:14:10): it is always used from user WS location doc
AndreyDmit (16:14:42): or if it is not specified - than explicit e-mail address from address book is used,( if it’s not specified also, than
)
AndreyDmit (16:15:15): so - in common - users can get e-mails for any number of addresses
AndreyDmit (16:15:24): but can send only from one
AndreyDmit (16:15:29): address
AndreyDmit (16:15:39): (in location doc)
AndreyDmit (16:16:53): we can add multiple location docs for multiple addresses (if it is needed). So user must to switch locations before sending e-mail
AndreyDmit (16:17:05): with different address
AndreyDmit (16:17:13): (from different address)
