Alias inbox problems #15

Closed stahlkarl closed 9 years ago

stahlkarl commented 9 years ago

When an email is sent to an alias addr, it only shows up in the mailbox which generated the alias and not in the inbox for the alias. Example: alfred@maildrop.cc has alias D-2aa0sp7@maildrop.cc. Emails sent to D-2aa0sp7@maildrop.cc only shows up in http://maildrop.cc/inbox/alfred and not http://maildrop.cc/inbox/d-2aa0sp7 .

One might think this is due to the address alias collision issues (https://github.com/m242/maildrop/issues/14), but the problem persists even though the email address does not include any non-alfanumeric characters (that includes the alias address and the prefix).

This is by design. When you give out the D-2aa0sp7 address, you don't want that someone to then go into /inbox/d-2aa0sp7 and read any subsequent messages.
