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
