Yes. Rewriting is not a routing tool. You cannot change one address into
two addresses by rewriting.

You could, however, do this by using an alias file with essentially the
same entries, and an lsearch* lookup method. Oh, and you'd need to turn
on "expand" to get the alias expanded (and use $local_part instead of
$1).
