We've got a complicated system here in which I'm not sure, it will
bounce secure.

Our System:
A bunch of 20-30 similar email addresses like aaa at cgv aab at cgv aac at cgv ...
In the aliases file we forward these all to ONE account zzz at cgv
With a sieve filter we sort all mails from this zzz at cgv account to
different non-user-accounts in cyrus (not inbox.aac but aac), because
more than 10 users need access to these.
And I'm not really sure if the mail bounce for sure if the aac-boy
doesn't exist in which the sieve script should put the mail.
