Hi,

- Functions of mail alias account in latest EE release (v1.8.1) is same as old EE release, just default access policy is switched from "Unrestricted" to "Moderators".
- You can set access policy while creating account, or after creation on account profile page.
- With access policy "Moderators", if sender is not a moderator of the mail alias account, the email should be rejected with error "Not authorized".
- You mentioned the email "went through fine", could you please login to EE as global admin, then check whether option "Access Control" is enabled (toggled on) on `Server Settings` -> `Milter` section? And what's the related log lines in `/var/log/milter/milter.log`?

When setting up an alias in 1.7.4, I think there was a radio button choice for "Who can send email to this account" with "Moderators" checked by default. When I created the above alias, I chose "Unrestricted"

After creation, the list showed "Moderators", and clicking on it didn't have a place to choose a different restriction.

I've updated to 1.8.1, and now clicking on the alias shows the "Access Policy" section, and I was able to choose "Unrestricted" and it stuck.

Are aliases officially mailing lists under the covers now, regardless of if they are created with the Alias workflow?

Newly created alias accounts show "Moderators" for "Mail Deliver Restriction", where old alias accounts show "Unrestricted".

I created a new alias today, first one in a long while. I don't want to create these throwaway aliases as mailing lists because they are effectively single-use. All of my previously created aliases show "Unrestricted" and the new one says "Moderators" under the column "Mail Deliver Restriction".

I tried sending an email to this alias from an external account, and it went through fine.

Is this just a cosmetic error?
