I wonder how to proceed with this. Since we have catchall feature and people can enable it, they dont have to setup aliases (meaing request them with us). When catchall is enabled you can use any identity @yourdomain.ltd to send and receive emails.
What I would suggest is change to the form where we say that catchall allows for any alias to be used by user and use alias1, alias2, alias3... as optional if you dont want to use catchall.

That would solve the need for users to request email aliases so win win for us and them.

@Disroot/Owners Could you give your opinion on this so we can change the form's content?

I agree.

So at the moment we have:

Alias ?
Second Alias (optional)?
Third Alias (optional)?
Forth Alias (optional)?
Fifth Alias (optional)?

But you suggest we have something like:

I want catch all feature.  (if that is enabled, you can use any identity @yourdomain.ltd to send and receive emails)
I don't want catch all feature, I want only those alias:
    Alias ?
    Second Alias (optional)?
    Third Alias (optional)?
    Forth Alias (optional)?
    Fifth Alias (optional)?

I think it is a great idea.

Pretty much yes. I would additionally specify that if you dont choose to use catchall, you can select the five additional aliases but you can't custom request more and if you want more, you can select catchall in the user menu at any time.
I would add that to prevent extra work adding custom reuqests after the domain is processed.

I just realized I need to add "wildcard" alias to all catchall to make it work so, so here is a list of what needs to be done:

Add catchall alias creation to the processing script
Add catchall alias to all catchall enabled users
Adjust the form with information
Send email to all custom domain users about the change and new feature
