You can set up aliases to group email addresses of specific users, groups, and aliases. When sending emails, users can quickly specify recipients by using aliases without entering multiple addresses. Please refer to the following steps to create email aliases.
When inbound or outbound messages match any auto BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) rule, a BCC will be automatically created and forwarded to a specified address, allowing users to back up important messages and protect recipient privacy. Please refer to the following steps to create auto BCC rules:
The system can automatically append a custom disclaimer to outbound messages to clarify legal obligations/agreements, or promote campaign information to recipients.
You can set up custom rules to decide whether a disclaimer should be appended to outbound messages.
