Hello William, You can remove aliases via dbmail-maintenance x alias deliver_to, but it does require a manual lookup of the deliver_to value, which is not very user friendly. This should probably be changed (eg. add an option to remove all aliases that point to a user when you remove the user, and/or remove all aliases of a given value, reguardless of the deliver_to address).
Roel: are you still maintaining that todo list? If so, you want to stick this on there?
