I think you might be trying to work it in a more difficult fashion than it
needs to be.

If the user wants "janedoe@(protected)
"jane@(protected)
virtual users, for whom "janedoe" is supposed to receive email, to point
at janedoe, i.e.

jane@(protected)
janedeer@(protected)
janedoe2@(protected)

Then, let the user set up their mail client to send mail as whichever
address they want to reflect as "From:". That could be "janedoe", or
something completely different.

"jane@(protected)
point to the same actual user, and that user's login name could be
"joesmith".

The thing to keep in mind is that as long as there are aliases or virtual
addresses, and as long as they can configure their mail client to display
the address they want to use, the username that they use to log in and
retrieve their email doesn't matter.
