Provide list{addresses,aliases,users,relocated} subcommands The patch provides the list{addresses,aliases,users,relocated} subcommands to the UI. All commands actually take the same path in the code and only one query is run with different parameters for each case. There are still two shortcomings: 1. With alias domains, the output order is not as one might want it, e.g. foo@example.org bar@example.org foo@example.com bar@example.com when it should really be foo@ twice and then bar@ twice. I have not found a way to modify the SQL accordingly. 2. The SELECT queries for Accounts, Alias and Relocated are hard-coded in common.py.

This module provides the :class:`EmailAddress` class to handle validated e-mail
addresses.


EmailAddress
------------

.. class:: EmailAddress(address)

  Creates a new EmailAddress instance.

  :param address: string representation of an e-mail addresses
  :type address: :obj:`basestring`
  :raise VirtualMailManager.errors.EmailAddressError: if the
    *address* is syntactically wrong.
  :raise VirtualMailManager.errors.VMMError: if the validation of the
    local-part or domain name fails.

  An EmailAddress instance has the both read-only attributes:

  .. attribute:: localpart

    The local-part of the address *local-part@domain*


  .. attribute:: domainname

    The domain part of the address *local-part@domain*


Examples
--------

  >>> from VirtualMailManager.EmailAddress import EmailAddress
  >>> john = EmailAddress('john.doe@example.com')
  >>> john.localpart
  'john.doe'
  >>> john.domainname
  'example.com'
  >>> jane = EmailAddress('jane.doe@example.com')
  >>> jane != john
  True
  >>> EmailAddress('info@xn--pypal-4ve.tld') == EmailAddress(u'info@pŠ°ypal.tld')
  True
  >>> jane
  EmailAddress('jane.doe@example.com')
  >>> print john
  john.doe@example.com
