In our current setup it actually is a bit more involved.  We still have some 
one-off accounts going back to the early days that aren't just aliases, those 
that are aliases still go through a spam filter that we pay for (per account), 
and mail that comes in to be relayed to a forwarded destination still traverses 
infrastructure that has to scale to meet demand unless we were to point MX for 
all of @mozilla.org to some outsourced entity.  Unfortunately, the cost is far 
from nothing.

I'm not trying to shoot this down, I want to make sure that we all are aware 
that this can quickly become a significant investment, and then how do we scale 
it to the vision that Mitchell gave us for our contributor base in the years to 
come?
