In which section would this go?

Um, something here is making me nervous.  Would I have to then enumerate
every possible mail user in /etc/email-addresses as well?

Ie, if joe, bob, and dan are actual users on my machine, but do not have
entries in /etc/email-addresses, and I put the rewrite rule you suggest
into my config, will all of their email go to the user defined for * ?

I don't understand why putting
*: username
in my /etc/aliases file doesn't seem to work =/
