That's correct, but notice that the following names you posted earlier all 
redirect to two (postmaster and root) of those four:

abuse:          postmaster
bin:            root
daemon:         root
games:          root
ingres:         root
system:         root
toor:           root
uucp:           root
manager:        root
dumper:         root
operator:       root
decode:         root
root-admin:     admin
httpd:          admin
adm:            root
lp:             root
sync:           root
shutdown:       root
halt:           root
mail:           root
news:           root
nscd:           root
pop:            root
named:          root
postgres:       root
mysql:          root

I don't think you'd want users to be able to create these aliases, would 
you?

I commented out "decode" and "games" on our Qube because we were seeing 
quite a bit of spam to them, which now bounces.
