If you do not want to work your way through postfix and openldap your best guess is to create the account `newAlias` and then use the accounts email forward to forward any email on that account to any number of other email recipients.

It is just if you have a lot of those `newAlias` that it fills up the database making it hard to distinguish between accounts only needed to forward email and accounts that actually belong to real persons.

Thanks a lot ! that’s a good answer to my needs.

Is there a way to automatically supress the mails after redirection ?

It’s an old post, now you should be able to do this by using yunohost groups…

That would be really cool! Did you test? Does it work?

Could you write down a short description how you achieved this?

I made a mistake, you can create a kind of ml but with yunohost members only…

```auto
yunohost user group add-mailalias GROUPNAME ml@domain.tld

```

If you write to ml@domain.tld all members of the group GROUPNAME should received the mail.

Thanks for the feedback! I already thought I’d have missed a way to do this.
