Have a look at spec.txt, chapter 22 "the redirect router" and
chapter 7.3 "the default configuration file - router configuration"
(the paragraph about system_aliases).
Maybe just putting the line "test: usera" in /etc/aliases is what
you want. Note: This will send _any_ mail for test@$local_domain
to usera@$your_hostname. In case you only want the redirection for
domain.com you could easily adopt the system_aliases router to
look up the domain, too.
