Take special note of the "DEFAULT" alias.   This is a special alias that will collect all mail sent your domain name that does not already have an alias or mailbox specifically created for that email address.

For example, if you had a mailbox called "webmaster" and an alias called "info" and someone sent an email to test@yourdomain.com, the email server would realize that there isn't an explicitly created mailbox or alias for "test" and the email will go to wherever the DEFAULT alias fowards to.  If you delete the DEFAULT alias and no mailbox or alias exists for the email address that was sent to your domain, then the email is discarded by the server and an error message is returned to the sender.
