Move PostmasterAlias from code to james-confix.xml
--------------------------------------------------

         Key: JAMES-363
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-363
     Project: James
        Type: Improvement
  Components: SpoolManager & Processors  
 Environment: N/A
    Reporter: Daniel Perry


James automatically adds a PostmasterAlias mailet to the root processor.  This 
is ok for a simple setup, but causes problems in a virtual hosting environment, 
as different domains may have different postmaster accounts.

The fix is to remove the hard-coded mailet, and put it in the xml configuration 
file.

A patch to do this is as follows:
