Hello,

It seems that i cannot create a user with the same name as an existing alias, im not sure this is correct behaviour, as far as understand , if i have an alias XYZ@domain.tld delivering mail to mailbox ABC@domian.tld, i could also create mailbox XYZ@domain.tld and then also make the alias point to both mailboxes XYZ@doamin.tld and ABC@domain.tld ! thus mail will be delivered to both mailboxes using an alias that has a name that is identical to a mailbox. currently vimbadmin is not allowing this as it insists that the address to be unique! reporting duplicate entry for key 'address'.
