If you haven't done so now, it would be a good idea to get hold of the E-smith server and gateway Users Guide. The Guide for
version 3.1 is available from the E-smith ftp site.
What you describe is multi-drop email, and it is one of the standard options in the e-smith server for mail transport.
The fetchmail program will collect all mail from the POP3 mailbox you specify, and deliver what mail it can to the correct recipients, then deliver the rest to the postmaster alias, which is set to the admin email address that you have configured into the system. You may be able to increase the accuracy with which
fetchmail determines the correct recipient of each message if your ISP uses a distinguishing header - if so, you should configure your system to use that (under "sort header" in the email retrieval section of the web management gui).
