wlalias makes adding aliases on Windows Live Domains possible

Now that Google Apps is no longer free many of us have been left high and dry as far as offering high quality groupware/webmail to our customers and friends. Windows Live Domains is certainly not as polished as Google Apps was but it is certainly still free. A major frustration however is the lack of the ability to create aliases in the WebUI. Many users want to have an address like contact@ aliased to themselves at auser@. Microsoft has not provided a way to do this easily via their UI. Fortunately someone has stepped in with wlalias an open source tool that makes adding an alias as easy as:

wlalias add userid@example.com alias@example.com
