It works fine with the alias file....but don't forget to
run "newaliases" after amending the alias file.

Procmail can be used for this. I think that the aliases file can also be
used to rewrite the addresses so that
the line
username: user1, user at domain otherdomain.com

may work but you'd have to verify it with the external address.
