If a user is an alias such as sales@xxxxxxxxxxx, how does cyrus

That's not really a function of the MDA. Your MTA should be doing
that sort of thing. Cyrus might do that sort of thing, I don't know,
but it's not likely. Cyrus just delivers mail to the end user. It
doesn't do any transport.
You could use sieve to do it (create an account sales and create a
sieve script that drops all mails into john's mailbox; sales must have
post permissions for john's mailbox to do that).
Probably the MTA is the better place, as michael said. (e.g. in Postfix
you could use the virtual_aliases transport to do that and
virtual_mailbox transport for the actual delivery to cyrus. I'm sure
other mailers have similar functions.
