There are several ways of doing that.
You can do it with rewrite rules, but a number of different people have
independantly come up with a scheme such that you have an entry in your
aliases file for that domain called something like

unknown: blah@???

And then you have a rule which if it falls through
that far checks for the unkown user in the aliases file, and rewrites it
to that.

Also I have (care of Steve Keay's genius :-) a rewrite for domains rule.

you have

\(*\)@domain.com
rewritten to \1@???

Again, this is just a simple lookup, if the domain is in a list of domains in
a file then rewrite the domain according to the rules in a file, keeping the
$local_part the same...
