    2. The From to verify if its knows the recipient. Here, the recipient is bugs@celoxis.com. The mail server then checks if there is any forwarder for this which in our example is rge postman address 
      i.e celoxis@acme.com
    3. The mail server than deposits the mail in the mail-box for "celoxis".

  4. Now, Celoxis finds that in its mail box, there is an email in which the To is bugs@celoxis.com
    So, the application looks if there is any email alias set for the same address; which it finds as celoxis+NI-17f-2433@acme.com and hence understand that with this an app item is to be created.
  5. Celoxis now creates an app item using the email details.
