Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/903

@pierreozoux suggested that an admin user, or named alike alas root, administrator, as default only invites for brute force attacks to those well known aliases.

How would a sane default look here?

Maybe by adding a new option to the deploy command to let people change the default username ?
