You can duplicate emails by extensive use of the /etc/mail/aliases
For example:
in /etc/mail/virtusertable
joe.bloggs@xxxxxxxxxxx aliasenamehere
in /etc/aliases
aliasenamehere: emailaddress1, emailaddress2,
usrename1, username2
You can even have overlapping alias and usernames if you want to, the
alias takes precedence
for example:
in /etc/mail/virtusertable
joe.bloggs@xxxxxxxxxxx joebloggs
in /etc/aliases
joebloggs: joebloggs, emailaddress2, usrename1, username2
In this second example the joebloggs in the virtusertable is interpreted
as the alias by sendmail
In /etc/aliases, the "joebloggs:" part is interpreted as the alias
referred to by the virtusertable and the "joebloggs," is interpreted as
the username
