It might be possible to rework your solution so instead of an alias you utilize an account, within which you can share the Inbox directory to all of the users who need access to it. This would allow you to continue using the Content Filter rule you already have setup since messages would be delivered directly to the shared mailbox.
In recent versions of SmarterMail we also introduced domain-level shared calendar, contact, tasks, notes, etc resources that you could use at a company level like that as well!
