Does this answer your question? Using MX Records to Forward Email to Another Domain – Garver

Namecheap has a free forwarder. See the help file: namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/308/2214/…. I have trouble believing that Namecheap is the only DNS provider that has this feature. Check your provider and see if they have something similar. – Nostology

It is not possible. The MX record answers the question "To send an email to a given domain name, which host should I contact?". Since what you want to do involves the local parts of email addresses, it falls outside of the realm of DNS.
