This 'alias@' is confusing and not what you want.
Its simply a domain-wildcard and the same convention is used
in authuserdb, authmysql etc.
It really should be named 'default@' to be consistend with
dot-courier (.courier-default), but thats probably too late.

Just give it a try.
Using aliases will cause rewriting of the receipient-address
(recorded in the Delivered-To) with @me, this would be the only
valid reason to avoid them at a isp.

Also userdb would work, without using aliases at all.
Create multiple entries for all receiving addresses.
