Tom,
There is not a direct method to do what you want (you would have to use a
Program Alias, to accept the message, send copy to a mailbox, and send
notification message to the people in the group).
But a simple technique, is to use a standard (or group) alias, to send a
cop[y of the message to all users in the group. If anyone replies, he BCCs
the same alias, so everyone gets a copy of the response. We used this
technique until our group got large (more than about 8 people and this means
lots of email to read, sort and dispose of). Of course, the person replying,
must be sure to use the correct return address, so any replies go back to
the alias.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Group Mail Boxes + Notification of New Mail to the
Group
> Greetings to all!
> I am trying to set up group/departmental mailboxes such that when new mail
> arrives, it sends a brief message to all members of the group/department
> that
> there is a new message, and that someone needs to check the mailbox -
> something akin to the pager/beeper notification, but to an e-mail alias
> that all group members have access to.
> Ex. Moe,Larry and Curly are in the infosys group. If someone sends mail
> to 'infosys' -- Moe,Larry and Curly would receive a brief msg that 'New
Mail
> Has Arrived!'
> Any ideas?
