I agree totally with you on that kind of scriptkiddies. Indeed I tried to
setup it as an alias. It doens't

However if I setup up before entering the virtual site to the dns then it
works. But afterwards, when you try for example adding an extra alias to the
same account I get the same error.
But I don't quite understand how this can happen, is there a controllable
relation between the virtual sites and the aliasses defined ???
