Implement an outgoing conversion table in the MTA or change the email
address in Options->Personal Information (there are plugins that can
help automate that) or install the Login Manager (vlogin) plugin,
which can also remap the email address.  OTOH, maybe you should
implement a REAL virtual user system, instead of a hacked one.  If
mail users shouldn't have a real system account (they never should),
then don't give them one!
