Three options.
First option:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
virtual_alias_maps = /etc/postfix/virtual
/etc/postfix/virtual:
# lookup key lookup result
westcoast-us...@example.com jam...@example.com t...@example.com ...
jam...@example.com jamie.how...@somedomain.com
Do specify @domain on the lookup table results.
After editing, do "postmap hash:/etc/postfix/virtual".
Second option:
/etc/aliases: (or whatever the location of the "sendmail" aliases file)
westcoast-users: jamieh tomk
jamieh: jamie.how...@somedomain.com
After editing, do "postalias hash:/etc/aliases
Third option:
/etc/aliases: (or whatever the location of the "sendmail" aliases file)
westcoast-users: :include:/some/where/westcoast-list
owner-westcoast-users: jam...@example.com
jamieh: jamie.how...@somedomain.com
/some/where/westcoast-list
jamieh
tomk
After editing, do "postalias hash:/etc/aliases
There is more than one way to skin a cat.

The .forward file is for UNIX accounts.
