Allow wildcard in email address aliases

IGLOU-EU commented 1 year ago

Summary

This feature would allow domain owners to create email address aliases that match a wildcard pattern. For example, if I have an email address ellen@wayland-yutani.terre, I should be able to create an alias ellen*@wayland-yutani.terre -> ellen@wayland-yutani.terre That way, I can give out email addresses like ellen-facebooktracking-junk@wayland-yutani.terre

Motivation

This feature is request by Algoo for the Galae project.

Additional context

To implement this feature, we need to add two things into the UI:

A new option into the domain configuration of the global administrator. To avoid confusion, we should call it "wildcard aliases" or something similar. The option should be a boolean, and it should be disabled by default to preserve the current behavior.
A information point into the alias creation form, to explain the feature is available (or not) for the current domain. And a red mark when a wildcard alias is present in the alias listing.
