In case you have a cPanel server or hosting account, you can configure your email alias directly from within cPanel.
In case you have a cPanel server or hosting account, you can configure your email alias directly from within cPanel.
You will need to create a file named “.qmail-XXXX” where “XXXX” depends on the email alias you wish to create. In this example, I’m using “bounce@domain.com”, therefore the file name will become “.qmail-bounce”. If you were to make your alias “mybouncealias@mydomain.com” the name of the file would’ve been “.qmail-mybouncealias”. Create this file in your home directory (not your public html folder but one level up from that) for the specified domain. With the file created, put the following line of code into it.
In the second last step of setting up bounce management for the Wordpress Mailing List plugin you will create an email alias and pipe all incoming emails to the specified mailbox to the “wpmlbounce.cgi” script which you previously configured and uploaded to your CGI-bin of your server.
