i would solve both on the MDA
in dbmail as example i can set
"john@example.com" -> deliver_to phyical user_id
"john@example.com" -> alias to "mark@example.com"
additionally a sieve-script could discrard messages
where from and to matches "mark@example.com"
done in 5 minutes depending un your MDA
however, the MTA is in my opinion the totally wrong place
because even if you got it to work beware of multi-rcpt
messages which does not matter/exist in this form after
the MDA (dbmail, dovecot..) got the mail via LMTP
