Do you have a 'mail gateway' - a machine that *all* mail goes through
before delivery to the end user? If so, have the same aliases file
there as are onthe internal network and just do not define your
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> alias there. Internally, the alias would be
defined, but if the alias is not on your mail gateway, external users
just get "Unknown user"...
My $0.02.
