The Perl file that validates GUI inputs against a list of "restricted"
aliases (including "mail") is located here:

/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/email/validate_alias.pl

You can check the archives, but I seem to recall this file being officially
updated recently to delete the "abuse" alias from the list, or whatever
reason it was. The header in my file shows an April 16 update:
# $Id: validate_alias.pl,v 1.1.1.1.2.4 2006/04/16 12:06:55 shibuya Exp $


Thanks!
