====== Creating a dynamic/wildcard/like Alias ======

<note>
This option is available once you have purchased the [[:en:mail:mailpack|Mail Pack]].
</note>

"Like" aliases are like [[:en:mail:create-alias|regular aliases]] except like aliases are dynamic.

In creating a dynamic, or "like" alias, you have the option of selecting from three pattern-matching choices when creating an email address:
  * ''Starting with''
  * ''Contains''
  * ''Ending with''

Input a character string and select a pattern match choice, then click "Add", as in this screenshot:
