By getting more expierences with XMail, i found out, that the

which are only an alias to external mail adresses.
And so I have to create an real user account for each of that 1000

a) i have two destinations of aliases, aliases.tab and mailproc.tab
and combining internal and external aliases in one file would be more

and if i use ctrl, aliaslist domain.com

ok, but it would be easier to use and manage, if we could simply add an
alias like
"blah.com""soenke""[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
