You can target multiple users by adding multiple email addresses. You can, however, change the target of an alias to be any other user, including other Fastmail users or a completely external email address. By default, the target of all aliases is your user.

To delete an alias, go to Settings → Users & Aliases, click Edit next to an alias, and then click Delete Alias. Any further email sent to that alias will now bounce (be returned to the sender as undeliverable). You can disable an alias by going to Settings → Users & Aliases, clicking Edit next to an alias, and selecting Reject (bounce) all mail to this address, then clicking Save.
