[TriLUG] handling email aliases for large numbers of emails

[Jason Faulkner]

We have the aliases all setup to go to a cron at domain.tld imap account,
then that is shared between all the SA's, so we can read it.

We also try to make sure that cronjobs don't email us unless something
errors, that way when an email comes in, it means a bit more.
