I'd suggest you to disallow mail to aol.com.br instead of transparently
replacing aol.com.br to aol.com. Imagine the situation when your users
who uses (incorrect) aol.com.br will tell to his friends etc that such
an address works ok and should be used instead of aol.com -- friends will
complain to e.g. their local ISP, and tell their friends the same
misinformation...

For my suggestion, use either relocated_maps, something like

 aol.com.br aol.com

or check_recipient_access:

 aol.com.br 551 Use aol.com instead
