Hello. Tell me how to set up mail aliases so that mail from one mailbox is forwarded to another mailbox. What configs need to be edited and what to enter. Thank you

That depends, I think, on how you have configured things.
If you deliver mail to maildir in users $HOME, you may be able to use procmail to redirect the mail. If you have, like I do, mdbox and virtual users, you should probably look at enabling Sieve in Dovecot and then put in place a sieve script for the user whose mail you want to redirect. I think the Dovecot docs have an example for how to do it.
Long and short of it, you will need to explain your configuration a little more in detail before you will be able to receive a more detailed response. Maybe others have better insights, but the above is the two approaches I would consider before doing something more exotic.

TBH, I don't think the OP has ever heard of procmail.
I think something like this will help: https://www.binarytides.com/postfix-mail-forwarding-debian/

I forgot to write that users are stored on the samba dc.
