I know one way to do this. We keep a directory (/etc/mail) where in we put alias type files which dictate to which Linux mailbox various addresses get delivered. I just wondered if it was an easy one liner to have x@a-domain.com sent to x@b-domain.com which then "knows" how to deliver it to the mailbox. Otherwise, I''m well aware I can just copy the files and edit them appropriately.

I''d do that with a dedicated router redirecting to $local_part@b-domain.com. Both a-domain.com and b-domain.com are in use and their "x" account will now be hammered by spammers because of your publishing of the mail addresses. Please use the ".example" TLD which has been created for this purpose if you insist on anonymizing domains.
