It's not significantly different from forwarders, just a different way of achieving the same (or nearly so) thing.

The way it works for me in fastmail: I can use any "<whatever>@<mydomain>" email address as my contact address with whoever I want, and I don't have to configure anything in advance.  If I want to give out 100 different 
not-previously-used email addresses today, I don't have to have set them all up in advance.  If I don't set up anything in advance, then fastmail's mail filter will send the incoming messages to the default mail folder.  I can set up custom (server-side) processing for specific addresses if I want.

Since I use fetchmail, I also have client-side filtering/rules that I use, and fastmail inserts a "X-Delivered-To" header field in the message that tells me which of my email addresses was the recipient (useful if it's not in the "To" field)
