I believe that if you were to use Courier maildrop it would do what you
want. Depending on what user-management backend you have, it'll cope
well with virtual users and forward to users based on conditions. Also,
messages with a given Message-ID could be filtered so that they would
not be delivered twice.

I'd formulate your question slightly differently (i.e. just state what
you want to accomplish without the Postfix-specific bits) and ask on the
maildrop list.
