In Postfix, if you want to send a copy of us...@example.com's mail to 
us...@example.com, you would create an alias,

  us...@example.com -> us...@example.com, us...@example.com

Since the original address appears in the alias as well, Postfix knows 
not to expand it again.

In Postfix.admin, each address is already aliased to itself but this is 
hidden by default. Add these two settings to your config.local.php:

  $CONF['alias_control'] = 'YES';
  $CONF['alias_control_admin'] = 'YES';

Now, you should see that each account is aliased to itself, and you can 
edit that alias. To "copy" another recipient, simply add that 
recipient's address to the alias.
