The example you showed would redirect me@local.domain mail ONLY to
me@external.domain.

Have you looked yet at the manual for aliases(5)?
"
DESCRIPTION
The aliases(5) table provides a system-wide mechanism to
redirect mail for local recipients. The redirections are
processed by the Postfix local(8) delivery agent.
[ ... ]
The format of the alias database input file is as follows:
o An alias definition has the form
name: value1, value2, ...
"
You would want:
me: me@external.domain, me@local.domain
See also about .forward files in the aliases(5) manual. With a
.forward file a non-root user can control this forwarding.
Beware the consequences of forwarding spam in this manner. The
external site might block it and consider you a spammer.
