Hi,

my process for this is to get the webform to send to the general email 
address and then run a generic agent every 10 minutes that looks for the 
form's subject title which is a bit of boiler plate prepended to the users 
own subject line. This then puts the web form submission in a queue for all 
webform posts. They are then assigned as required.

This was a 5 minute job that can be improved on with either a unique email 
address or doing a postmaster filter on headers.

hope this helps
