Does your spamassassin set up know about these aliases? i.e., can
spamassassin use joe's preferences when it is called for joe_foo?

Your hand off to spamassassin (or whatever) is not preserving the alias.
It seems as though this may be necessary, though, since I am not sure
that SA or any of the others that do per-user preferences will have any
idea how to cope with aliases. If you're not using per-user
preferences, better to move to running SA once at DATA, and ditch the
extra router/transport.
