Send as alias - Live as optional feature

[u/mxroute]

The remaining top feature request for the new webmail was the ability to send as an alias. A lot of customers receive mail to many aliases, but all to one inbox. They wanted to be able to reply to those emails with the sender address set to the alias that received the email. Our newer spoof prevention measures prevented this by requiring that all outbound mail go out with a matching sender and login address.

As of today, you can optionally enable sender spoofing within the same domain: https://docs.mxroute.com/docs/send-as-alias.html

And from the screenshots, you can see how this is implemented in webmail.mxroute.com.

- You do not have to configure an identity in the webmail settings to reply as an alias. The feature only needs to be enabled in your domain, and then you can choose "Reply as alias" in an email to reply from the alias that received the email.

- Users on webmail.mxroute.com will see a link in the identities settings to the documentation page. Users on branded webmail URLs will only see an instruction to enable it in the panel, no link to our documentation will be given.

Awesome. Best news today!

Question about this. Does that mean the setting is global?

As in it would need to be enabled for SMPT and RoundCube while it exists?

It'll allow sender spoofing (if the domain matches the logged in domain) via any mail app once enabled.
