Postfix Equivalent to qmail Alias Domains

Hey all,

I've been Googling, but can't find an answer to this one. Does postfix have the functionality equivalent to qmail's Alias Domains feature?

I want to have one mail server to handle mail for all my servers, but without ditching the hostname part of my servers when sending mail. That was confusing.

Example:
I have 3 servers:

earth.mydomain.com
venus.mydomain.com
mars.mydomain.com

I want mail sent from each of those servers to be sent as 'fukawi2@venus.mydomain.com' and 'root@earth.mydomain.com' or whatever user on whichever server it's being sent from.

I want to point the MX records for the above 3 servers, to the one server that handles mail for 'mydomain.com' and then have that server alias 'earth.mydomain.com' to 'mydomain.com'.

fukawi2@earth.mydomain.com - delivered to fukawi2@mydomain.com
root@venus.mydomain.com - delivered to root@mydomain.com
http@mars.mydomain.com - delivered to http@mydomain.com

This way I don't have to maintain user tables on the mail server for every user on each server.

This is subtly different to a catch-all virtual mailbox alias in that:
1) I still only want to accept mail if the 'user@mydomain.com' exists (not catch all!).
2) The forward should keep the user the same, but 'catchall' the host part of the domain.
