Michael's answer is one way to do it. You use $virtual_alias_maps to
rewrite the address to a local address, then your $alias_maps (note,
plural) entry will work. I would suggest using a complete address on
the right-hand side of the $virtual_alias_maps table:
    mycodeexample.com local_maillocalhost

Other possibilities include using a pipe(8) transport, but this is
simplest.

This is not recommended.

Take out $mydestination. Using $relay_domains without
$relay_recipient_maps can make you a backscatter spammer. What are you
doing with lists.segula.pt?

Um ... why? The hostname in the banner is a requirement.
