A router is the only way to do it - what form your router should take
depends on a combination of how flexible you want it to be, how often
you're likely to want to update it, and how many different entries
there are likely to be.
A direct equivalent of your old director is:
new_router:
driver = redirect
local_parts = user
domains = domain.com
data = newuser@???
If you end up creating more than one or two of these, you probably
want to generalise the functionality and use external lookups, which
can be flat files, dbm files, MySQL databases, and more.
