2. Create "123.net", "123.biz" as domain aliases of "123.com", not needing to add accounts on them.

Then your customers can send emails to you using "xxxx@123.net" or "xxxx@123.biz" as well as "xxxx@123.com". All mails will auto go into "xxxx@123.com".

Notice: you need to configure MXs of 123.net, 123.biz via your ISP control panel to make them valid over Internet. Otherwise these domain ailases are only valid in intranet.
