you could expand aliases before dspam. (I personally don't like this,
except for few accounts).

If using mysql, you could use virtual_user_aliases.sql instead of
virtual_users.sql and fill in the uids (no auto incement in
virtual_user_aliases.sql) manually. This way, you could give
president@... and vp@... the same uid.
you'll of course need to clean up your db (remove the unused uid in all
the tables), possibly after merging the two users.

don't pass "outbound" mail to dspam. one way is to use the FILTER
keyword. another way is to use multiple postfix instances, in which case
you can setup transport maps for filtering. Follow up on the postfix ML.

I don't use the web ui. sorry.
