I have created a new member in Mango with the gnomeuserid field set.
While looking up the user id, I have seen that there is also a "Foundation 
member" and a "Has a cool 'gnome.org' mail alias" checkbox.
I have not changed anything there.
Do I have to do it?

Hm. But wouldn't it be possible to see in the postfix logs whenever it tries to 
deliver a mail to, say, tobiasmue gnome org? If so, we could see when the last 
mail was tried to be delivered and we could take extra care if we were to remove 
an alias that has recently received mail.

FWIW: We can discuss that tomorrow. I sent this mainly to keep a record of what 
my questions are -.-
