Email Aliases
Your main POP account for your domain allows the system to capture any name that may be sent to your domain name.  This means as long as the @yourdomain.com is proper, any name in front of it will be delivered to your main POP account.  Each alias can be forwarded or redirected to any other address of your choice.
