Looks like you could modify line 86 as follows:
if( $alias !~ /^[a-z0-9\.\-\_\&\@]+$/o ) { $badAlias=1; }

But I suspect there may be a reason this reg. expression doesn't allow "&".
Maybe email addresses with "&" in them break other perl modules used in the GUI.
So you can do what Paul suggested and manually edit virtusertable and play with
the GUI and see if it breaks anything.  You can also make the above modification
and see.  As always, make good backups first.
