Ok but that'll have to wait until we've fully migrated from our current
MX servers with direct access to the mailboxes to lmtp.

Alas no. The MTA does handle alias expansions :

I tried it but unfortunately the problem remains :

However as you can see it tries to write to amalia's index while delivering to
dinos.mpalanikas.
Of course we're only talking about 1 failure in 578 successful deliveries
however that server currently only serves less than 5% of our customres right
now and we're worried that if we go full scale the problem will simply become
greater.

Indeed but I think that would mean getting rid of our lega
