At least two alternatives are available to you.  Pure Postfix solution, 
using the recipient_bcc_maps parameter; or Sieve, using the redirect.  
Simple Sieve script needs to be enabled for the base mailbox (in this 
case, the virtual mailbox):

# Sieve script file
keep;
redirect "copymail at domain.com";

Pure Postfix option -
1.  Create a file to store mappings - I use /etc/postfix/maps/recipient_bcc
2.  Add entries to that file in the form:
     mail at domain.com        copymail at domain.com
3.  "Compile" the file - 'postmap /etc/postfix/maps/recipient_bcc' - 
this creates recipient_bcc.db
4.  Add 'recipient_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/maps/recipient_bcc' to 
main.cf
5.  Execute 'postfix reload'

Further questions should be directed to the Postfix mailing list.
