Use the local alias_maps feature.

NAME
aliases - Postfix local alias database format
...
The format of the alias database input file is as follows:
o An alias definition has the form
name: value1, value2, ...
...
/file/name
Mail is appended to /file/name. See local(8) for
details of delivery to file. Delivery is not limited
to regular files. For example, to dispose of
unwanted mail, deflect it to /dev/null.
If you deliver to file this way, the file needs to be writable by
the $mail_owner user (default: postfix). The file will grow until
the mailbox_size_limit is reached, then further delivery will fail.
It may be possible to trigger one-file-per-message (maildir style)
deliveries with an alias destination of /directory/ ('/' at end is
required). I don't remember it that would work. It still requires
directory write permission for user $mail_owner.
