If I'm understanding you correctly, consider something like this in your
/etc/mail/virtusertable:

# domain1.org
#
name1 at domain1.org                       name1
@domain1.org                            error:nouser
#
#
# domain2.com
#
name2 at domain2.com                       name2
@domain2.com                            error:nouser
#
#
# domain3.net
#
name3 at domain3.net                       name3
@domain3.net                            error:nouser
#
#

This makes name1 only receive mail at domain1, name2 at domain2, and
name3 at domain3.

Standard caveat about running make after modifying virtusertable.
