Alias, Mailbox Alias, Forwarings, WTF?

Here's my thinking..

Mailbox alias - the only alias besides domain

can send and receive as X
exclusive ownership of alias
works across domains
forwards table, is_alias=1

Forwarding - just pass it along, cant send as

can NOT send as x, will receive
not exclusive right
forwarding, is_forwarding=1

Mailing List

can send TO and receive FROM (forwarded)
not exclusive
forwarding table, is_list=1

Domain ALias

adds to alias_domain table
this does allows receive, but not send without explicit mailbox alias (maybe ill PR core to update postfix lookup sql)
