In fact, I never saw someone who really need to send mail in behalf of a 
alias. I'm not really sure what would be the point. But one may need it. 
In this case, the easiest way to do that if to use the Reply-To header. 
You then can send mail from user at domain.com, and ask the user to reply 
to user at domain2.com. And you won't break anything. You're allowed to do 
that without any special config.

So yes, the alias thing should be more than enough for most cases. And 
the Reply-To header is available to solve some other minor "problems".
