This is usually done in virtual_alias_maps, with an entry for each
valid user. The domain does not need to be specified in
virtual_alias_domains for this to work.
# virtual_alias_maps
user1 user1
user2 user2

It is possible to use wildcard rewriting, but that disables recipient
validation and should be avoided.
