As long as the records in dbmail_aliases point to both the user_idnr and
the remote forwarding address, messages will be handled both locally and
forwarded.

So kike this;

dbmail_aliases:

alias            | deliver_to

Those are completely seperate delivery chains. External forwards do not
pass through any dbmail filters (sieve or native). Internal deliveries do.

So you can do both: use internal forwarding (dbmail_aliases point to
remote addresses) and use sieve filtering (possibly also forwarding
certain messages to remote addresses). Just make sure you abide by the
requirement mentioned above.
