I'd suggest you use a Ticketing System that tracks the mails outside the
MTA and use this alias as the address
used by the Ticketing system. Why am I saying that? In my limited thinking
put into your question, I don't see an
easier way to distinguish between the two recipients who among them has
sent the mail using the alias. If there
was a way, I'd use a filter to copy the mail to the other recipient.
However, even that method too is not elegant because
one of the recipients will be getting the sent e-mail in their inbox while
the actual sender has it in their sent items folder.

Another easier, and equally less elegant way is to make this alias a real
account and if you use IMAP, let the two recipients
configure/share this account in their MuA (as an IMAP account). This way,
one of the staff opens the mail, it will be marked as
read in the Inbox; one responds to the mail and the other person will see
the response in the Sent Items folder. This method
adheres to the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid), IMHO.
