is there a way to input a non-standard (XXX@XXX.XXX) email address into the gui to allow for aliases to be setup and not erased whenever i make a change in the user extensions?

Why not just use a postfix rewrite rule to do that?

that seems like it would work, although my server is using sendmail, and i don't have much experience with postfix (or any haha)

also i like the way aliases work because if someone else were working on the system and they saw an alias they would understand right away that they would need to go to the alias settings, whereas if i were just rewriting "fred@somewhere.com" to "fred@somewhere.com, george@somewhere.com" then it's not immediately obvious to someone that it's being rewritten... although i can probably just do something like "rewritten0001@here.com" and just incriment it each time... but i still kinda like aliases better, unless there is a specific reason not to
