See, this is where I got to... however the addresses required are not
physical accounts - they only exist in the aliases file.

I was wondering if you can specify a full email address in the aliases
file (therefore making committee at wireless.org.au a different alias to
committee at melbourne.wireless.org.au etc), however I haven't been able to
find any documents that say yes or no, and any impacts of doing such a
thing.
