You'll probably want to use fetchmail to retreive the messages and procmail
to decide which ones to forward.
The list of recipient addresses can be specified in
1. Your ~/.procmailrc or
2. The global /etc/aliases or
3. A file that is pointed to by an entry in /etc/aliases
The first option does not require root access and makes it a little harder
for the list to be hijacked by unauthorized users. Any entry in /etc/aliases
is available for use by anyone who knows the address.
********************************************************************
Option 1
--------
Add the following to your ~/.procmailrc:
:0
* ^X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
! [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]
*********************************************************************
Option 2
--------
Add the following to /etc/aliases:
myuserlist: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then add an entry to your ~/.procmailrc:
:0
* ^X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
! myuserlist@localhost
Then run: newaliases
*********************************************************************
Option 3
--------
Add the following to /etc/aliases:
myuserlist: :include:/home/username/myuserlist.txt
Then create a file named myuserlist.txt that contains the recipient
addresses, one per line.
Then run: newaliases

If I've missed anything, I'm sure someone will correct me.
