The answer to the question in the Subject line is "yes". Just have more
than one director.

You can't do that in a single aliasfile director. The keys must either
all have domains attached, or all not have domains attached.

Of course, you can have two different directors search the same file -
one looking for unqualified local parts and the other not.

system_aliases_no_domain:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch

system_aliases_with_domain:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch
include_domains

Though that is a bit wasteful. If you can restrict them to specific
domains, that will be more efficient.
