| So, given that an account already exists info@ourdomain.com and

| available for pick up from info@ourdomain.com ?
|
put a filed called '.forward' into the home directory with the
email addresses of the people who also wish to receive email as well as
the info account.... so you'd have..
\info
manager1
manager2@offsite.domain.com
the \ means do not follow .forwards, so it effectively re-delivers it.
