[cobalt-users] Email Aliases don't work

You can short circuit all the silly delivery rewriting for local users by
aliasing to localhost , eg

johnsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxx john@localhost

I have tried this and still bounces.  What are some other solutions.  My
email only works if the username that is created is the same as the Alias,
otherwise it just bounces.  I have deleted and created the user many times.
