Your user can have whatever login they like. But whether you call it an
alias or not doesn't matter. You can have user mrsales for the domain
joe.com and the user misssales for the user mary.com. They can both have the
email address sales@xxxxxxx and sales@xxxxxxxx

I do it though the www.userdomain.com/siteadmin and the users can create
whatever alias they like. I just warn them that if they pick a common name
for a user name, then any Spam sent to that name at any domain hosted on the
server will show up in their box. So if a site creates a user called steve.
Then any dictionary Spam attack to any of the domains will get them all the
steve@ mail.
