Definition

Alternate RFC 822 email address of this recipient. If the MTA receives mail with a "to" header with this email address, it rewrites the header with the value of the mail attribute and routes the email to that inbox. The reverse-pointing addresses are rewritten from the value of any of a user&#x27;s  attributes to the value of the user&#x27;s mail attribute. (That is, the MTA will rewrite the following headers, if they match this attribute, to the value of the user&#x27;s  attribute.)

The  attribute works similarly to route the email, but does not rewrite the header.

The local part of the address may be omitted to designate a user/group as the catchall address. A catchall domain address is an address that will receive mail to a specified domain if the MTA does not find an exact user address match with that domain.

This attribute, along with, are the default attributes used for reverse searches.

Example mailAlternateAddress: jdoe@sesta.com To specify a mail catchall address: mailAlternateAddress: @sesta.com
