That protection is already there.  Well, anyway, it protects against stealing 
mail.
If you give away access to mailalternateaddress, a user can still break other 
mailboxes at will.  Of course, nobody will be able to send to the broken mail 
address
anyway, so a broken auth_pop response seems appropriate.  At least it will
make your phone ring so you can fix it.

A test with my custom auth mod ([EMAIL PROTECTED] has two matching 
mailalternate 
addresses):

sh# LOGLEVEL=255 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup asdf /var/qmail/bin/auth_pop env
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK 
pass XXXXXXX

Note:  "-ERR temporary error" is what gets passed back up to qmail-popup.  
The rest is debug output.

-ray.
