Just a minor, minor nit: Please do not name such a class an "Alias,"
since it is confusing and the name might lead people to think it is a
client-side construction.  RFC822 and RFC2822 call the
  Something: possibly-empty-list-of-mailboxes ;
construction a "group."  It is in fact a standard part of the Internet
e-mail address format, and clients and servers should both recognize
it.  (To not parse such addresses in received mailis an error; to not
be able to generate them is merely the absence of a feature.)
