I'll assume exim4, because you didn't told us what you use.

alias_with_suffix:
   driver = redirect
   local_part_suffix = +*
   local_part_suffix_optional
   data = ${lookup {$local_part} lsearch \
             {/etc/aliases}}$local_part_suffix


This will lookup an alias from /etc/aliases and append
$local_part_suffix, the suffix is optional, so it will work for
user2@domain too.
