It does but it only handles simple aliasing of one address to another: ALIASES (string, default=/etc/aliases) Path to the local aliases file. Just stick with the default. The aliases file is of the format nam: dest1 dest2 ... In this case, mails to nam will instead be delivered to dest1 and dest2, which in turn could be entries in /etc/aliases. The special name ‘*’ can be used to create a catch-all alias, which gets used if no other matching alias is found. Use the catch-all alias only if you do not want any local mail to be delivered. If you want fancier stuff like program deliveries, you need a larger MTA.
