[Dovecot] symlinking maildirs

I have some emails that I think are in the Postfix delivery queue
going to Dovecot, but didn't get mapped to their alias (because I
didn't have all the alias entries in when they were queued).

I'm wondering if this trick would work.  I have the mail being
delivered to /home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mail and am wondering if I could make
a symlink at /home/mail/example.com/foo -> bar and add a dummy
password for foo at example.com and have that mail trying to go to
foo at example.com really go to bar at example and make a successful
delivery (it is soft bouncing right now).
