Instead of using aliases you should use either duplicate account records, or 
aliases in conjunction with a .courier-default file.

A) Instead of entering

address2: address1

in the aliases file, create a duplicate account record for address2 that 
specifies the same userid, groupid, homedirectory (and maildir) attributes, 
so that both E-mail addresses map to the same actual mailbox, although from 
Courier's perspective they are different accounts, or

B) If your mail account is named "realaccount", enter

alias1: realaccount-alias1

alias2: realaccount-alias2

In the aliases file, then install a .courier-default file that provides the 
delivery instructions for all of them.
