Hmm... give the user the login name MAILER-DAEMON, and everything will be
fine... No, serious, there is a simple solution:

hosta:/etc/aliases
	the-user:	the-user-copy, the-user-copy at hostb
	the-user-copy:	\the-user

hostb:/etc/aliases
	the-user:	the-user-copy, the-user-copy at hosta
	the-user-copy:	\the-user

This uses indirection to a -copy alias to avoid loops. The \ avoids further
aliasing done on the mailbox name.
