Nobody Alias may not be the 'best' solution. I would propose the best way is
to use Aliases of expected 'usernames' be created, with the final
destination address specified in the Alias. This way, only those for valid
addresses are accepted and passed on. Nobody alias would accept email for
the 'user@first domain' passing ALL mis-addressed (not matching a username,
alias or listname in IMail) mail to go to that 'destination address'. This
could include email which might have been sent to 'support', but mispelled
(suppport). The user who get these will have to either 'forward' the mail to
the correct address or respond to the user with typical 'postmaster'
responses.
Since I would hate to duplicate the 'postmaster' responses, the above method
eliminates that chore. Yes, it does mean that 'usernames' be known and added
and removed as they change, but that is pretty easy. One could do that from
IMail Admin, or Web MSG (assuming the user has 'Host Admin' enabled).
