Don't. What you describe smells like N-to-M mappings (i.e. up to
N*M mappings).
The Postfix model is (from N forms, to canonical, to M forms), i.e.
no more than N+M mappings in total.
Postfix canonical mappings transform addresses from external form
to canonical form, which is the internal representation for all
mail handling decisions.
If you need to deliver a different address depending on destination,
then use smtp_generic_maps, to convert from the Postfix-canonical
form to that specific external form.
