Mailbox Aliases

It is possible to add mailbox aliases to a mailbox. This allows a mailbox to appear to have more than one name. Common uses for aliases include a persons full name and/or nick/common name, e.g. a user could be known as dave with a mailbox called dave. Mail addresses to david would be rejected or routed to the postmaster as undeliverable - unknown recipient. To allow this user to correctly receive mail addresses to david, add an alias to his mailbox in the name of david.
