When you say "their email address", is that the user's own (sender) address,
or the addresses of remote recipients he/she is writing to?

No, virtual_alias_maps rewrites the *envelope* address of all recipients,
local or otherwise. However it has no effect on the headers, and perhaps
you want to correct the same mistake also in the message headers?

Such broad scope sounds rather unwise, what happens when there are
legitimate email addresses in gmail.dk?
Surely there are some specific addresses that account for most of the
problem? I'd be hesitant to implement such a broad "solution"...
If "gmail.dk" gets no real email, best to just let it bounce promptly:
transport:
gmail.dk error:5.1.2 Bad destination domain
and then the errant user can fix the problem at the source. You'll
regret accommodating bad habits through rewrites, just be a good and
timely bearer of bad news.
