Two possibilities come immediately to mind:
1. If you can easily test for a local user in a string expansion (e.g.
search /etc/passwd), you can put something like this on the transport
user = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$local_part}{guest}}
This will be particularly easy if all your non-users take a particular
form, e.g. contain hyphens (as in your example).
2. Otherwise, you may have to have two different redirect routers, one
with only local users in the alias file, and one without. Then you can
use two different transports.
