I have made a note to think about alias files of this form. Meanwhile,
you could use a rewrite rule like
*@* ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/some/file}{$value}fail} T
The "T" flag at the end causes this rule to be applied only to the
envelope "to" field, not to any of the headers.

You can do that using a smartuser director, but you could re-search the
same file for the domain only, so you have two rules:
*@* ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/some/file}{$value}fail} T
*@* ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/some/file}{$value}fail} T
That will work *only* if the result of the first rewriting always
produces an address that fails in the second lookup, i.e. if none of
your domain1.com's are the same as user.com.
I'm sure there are other ways as well.
