One of the problems I have is that I sometimes have to create aliases
as if they were forwards, so rather then:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> user_idnr
I have to create
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why is that bad? I would think it is preferable to have only one alias -> user_idnr row, and everything else be alias -> alias. That way if the user_idnr were ever to change, only one database change has to be made.

Of course, I use a bunch of home-brew stuff to work with the DBMail tables directly. Maybe that's the difference. Would it make much of a performance difference?
