That answer assumes you want the addresses in the messages to be
rewritten, which is not the same (in my mind, at least), as "aliasing".
I think of "aliasing" not as rewriting, but as a way of routing one
address to the same place as another address. If that is indeed what you
want, then my answer is (almost) the way to do it.
General note: rewriting is not intended to be a routing mechanism.

Oops. Yes, indeed. I should read my own manual more often!
