According to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt section 4.5.3.1 [Size
limits and minimums], the maximum length for a user name is 64 characters.
We have room in the table for 50. Maximum length for a domain name is 255.
Maximum length for a path is defined to be 256. We don't leave enough room.
Some places 200, others only 100, some even less.
Proposed changes:
change username to 64, 128 or 256 (SMTP only requires 64, what is the max
for IMAP?)
change forwardDestination to 255 (RFC says the path size is 256, but ...)
Anywhere else where we hold an path (e-mail address), it should be changed
to 255, and anything that is a local part (e.g., alias, list name, etc.)
should be changed to match username.
If this is agreed, I'll submit a [PATCH].
