You're right, there isn't much point.. although it would get used if you
setup an autoreponder in the alias domain, as the location for the autoreply
text file.

There is no way to create user accounts in an alias domain, sorry. The only 
choices you have are :

1) Create it as a non-alias domain, and setup web page forwarding/redirects to
   forward all web traffic to the primary domain.
2) Create the POP3 account in the primary domain, and forward email from the alias.
