It does but it only handles simple aliasing of one address to another:
ALIASES (string, default=/etc/aliases)
Path to the local aliases file. Just stick with the default. The
aliases file is of the format
nam: dest1 dest2 ...
In this case, mails to nam will instead be delivered to dest1 and
dest2, which in turn could be entries in /etc/aliases. The special
name ‘*’ can be used to create a catch-all alias, which gets used
if no other matching alias is found. Use the catch-all alias only
if you do not want any local mail to be delivered.
If you want fancier stuff like program deliveries, you need a larger MTA.
