This helps with explicit alias addresses, but these don't really seem to
be the main problem, since this errant mail mostly isn't sneaking in
being addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Such mail never shows up in
hosteddomain/alias/Maildir/new anyway, but other weird stuff does.  For
example, one local account here has 3 spams in the alias/Maildir/new
directory with:

Delivered-To: @traviscountydemocrats.org

or

Delivered-To: ""@traviscountydemocrats.org

Now if I send mail to "@traviscountydemocrats.org" it never shows up
anywhere, but Courier accepts it.

Addressing my mail server directly....

mail from: <@fmp.com>
250 Ok.
rcpt to: <@traviscountydemocrats.org>
250 Ok.
data
354 Ok.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: @traviscountydemocrats.org
Subject: This shouldn't work

XYZZY
.
250 Ok. 0000000046DC7302.00000CEF

But the mail never shows up!!!  It oughta be kicked out for having a bad
address in the first place - but how did previous emails reportedly to
this address get into the "alias" mailbox?  

Gaaaa!!!!
