Setting up domain alias in IIS

Hi,

I've just upgraded from a reseller account with my hosting company to a dedicated server with the same company.

I'm going through configuring all the domains in IIS so that when I set them to transfer, all the websites, email etc. will already be setup.

However, I'm come up against a brick wall.

I've suddenly realised that I don't actually know how to setup an alias to a website.

What I've done so far is setup a new website for each of the domains for the same website, and pointed the home directory for all to the same folder on the server. This should work fine for the website, however, how would the email work with this? How do I set it up so that email sent to person1@my-second-domain.co.uk will redirect to person1@my-other-domain.co.uk. I don't want to have to set everything up in the email settings 4 times, once for each domain, and if I just setup a "nobody" account, then all email would go to one address.

Is this an IIS setting, or would I need to look somewhere else?

Any help appreciated.
 
Each domain (zone) will each have an MX record for email (perhaps multiple MX records). The MX records can all point to the same IP address of your mail server, and then its up to your mail server software to redirect person1@my-second-domain.co.uk to person1@my-other-domain.co.uk.
