Thank you for chiming in. This all seems reasonable, but there is an edge case that could be an issue.

Consider an alias for a colleague's account, where you are also allowed to send on behalf of that alias You both choose to have a wildcard sending identity of *@user1alias.fastmail.com. Now, this will not be an issue for user1, but I assume your plan is to forbid this for user2.
