Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of managing aliases on a server, including deleting unused aliases, while minimizing required administrator interaction. The server may include expirable alias records, containing an expiration value and an inactivity timer. An alias manager component may process the expirable records. If the alias manager component determines a particular record has expired, the alias manager component may delete that record.
