very easy....sendmail does with a "virtualusertable".
here is a little note from the the README file:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/README
virtusertable A domain-specific form of aliasing, allowing multiple
virtual domains to be hosted on one machine. For example,
if the virtuser table contained:
info@foo.com foo-info
info@bar.com bar-info
@baz.org jane@elsewhere.net
then mail addressed to info@foo.com will be sent to the
address foo-info, mail addressed to info@bar.com will be
delivered to bar-info, and mail addressed to anyone at
baz.org will be sent to jane@elsewhere.net. The username
from the original address is passed as %1 allowing:
@foo.org %1@elsewhere.com
meaning someone@foo.org will be sent to someone@elsewhere.com.
All the host names on the left hand side (foo.com, bar.com,
and baz.org) must be in $=w. The default map definition is:
hash -o /etc/virtusertable
A new definition can be specified as the second argument of
the FEATURE macro, such as
FEATURE(virtusertable, dbm -o /etc/mail/virtusers)
