You have to be able to edit your MTA's aliases file, and letting this
be done via a web interface is a HUGE security risk.  Plus, you'd have
to build in support for all the major MTAs.

(example - with Postfix, its best to keep TWO aliases files, both referenced
 in the mail config file - one for "normal" aliases, and one for 
 the Mailman lists..)
