It's my understanding that the ldap aliasing in courier | requires that the attribute values for recipents must contain | an email address (much like the mail attribute).

AFAIK, you are correct. I've used groups for acl's but not much more. I have never contemplated using them for aliases or group emails. Interesting thought but between mailing lists and aliases my simple needs are pretty well covered. I am also somewhat uncomfortable with having a large number of groups because of maintenance issues that I haven't taken the time to deal with in an orderly fashion.
