I'd use 'plus addressing', i.e. adding an extension to a recipient address after a delimiter (usually a '+'), then the LDA can save a message to a dedicated folder based on that extra string in a recipient's address. Something like: main.cf: recipient_delimiter = + the in alias or .forward or virtual aliases maps: user1 user1, user2+us...@example.com or in recipient_bcc_maps: user1 user2+us...@example.com so a copy of a mail for user1 will also be delivered to user2, with the envelope recipient address saying 'user2+user1'. The it us up to a LDA to decide what to do with a '+user1' extension - by default it is ignored, but can be used to specify a folder name for example. I know cyrus can do it, I'm sure Dovecot can do it too.
