May be, but I'm using dovecots deliver.

If the cronjob will be executed every minute, the chance for some mails
getting in before the maildir has been created will be very low, because
the created alias has to be synchronized to the mailrelay first. This
happens every 15 minutes.

I think the cronjob approach will be the best solution.
