Originally assigned to: @tonioo on GitHub.

While preparing in libreoffice a csv to import aliases, i ended up with a csv file where empty fields are delimited, like that:

alias;user.alias@domain.tld;True;user@domain.tld;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

During the import of this file into modoboa, the entry was converted into a dlist.

If i edit the imported entry in modoboa and save it, it is converted again into an alias.

IMHO, the converter should check if recipients csv fields are empty, and import as an alias en entry like the one shown above.
