My question was: is it possible to write such code and include it in
future releases? This is important question: I don't know if it is even
possible (maybe courier architecture excludes that), if it will not break
any rfc, and if Sam agree :-)

At the very first stage - incomming mail message - the system knows if it
can accept mail for a domain. So it knows hosteddomains. The alias
replacement is later and it should not be very complicated to include
wildcard hosted domains in alias processing (I haven't looked into courier
code, so I guess).
