Hmmm ... I didn't know about this limit when I installed and used a ten-character username and an eight or nine-character password. When I log in, I have to use the full username (alphenglor), and my home dir is /home/alphenglor, but files owned by me are shown as alphengl.alphengl (I'm not at a terminal with a mouse and can't paste an ls -l to be explicit, sorry). I think that my password was truncated at eight characters, though, as sometimes I would swear that I hit an extra key at the end but I can still get in.
As far as mail aliases go, though, you can set up your MTA to do that; /etc/aliases, I think.
