The goal is now to solve the problem that many user don't that
there is only one adress in the From: feld of their mails.

I think we could create a new table named mail_alias and add a
entry in it foreach alias sympa has checked. For each incomming
user, first use this table to get canonical email from a possible
alias email, then perform all other features.

In which case Sympa will add a entry in the mail_alias table ?
First using a new wwsympa form in the "preferences" page.
This could be also be done when user replys from a canonical
email to confirme an operation on a alias.

This could solve owners that have multiple email (to day they
are defined with multiple owners) and a lot of other problems
with mailing list servers, but it's a significant job.
