There is an easier solution!
If [EMAIL PROTECTED] wants all mail that goes to him to be copied to
another maildir as well as for him to get a copy to go to another maildir.
1)[EMAIL PROTECTED] looks in the joebloggs maildir on the mailserver
whilst checking mail ... correct?
2) Create an additional maildir [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3)Create the maildir eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..
4)Create the alias file for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to then point to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
5)Ask Joebloggs to collect mail at the new locations ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
In brief, the target address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) now is split into 2
different location ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) which is the new location for the
original mail to be sent and ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) the newly created location
where he wants a copy to go to!
Sounds long winded and confusing but much better and there is the option of
growing the list of people who get a copy!

Well,
I didn't know if it will answer your question, but I use a script to
post "bulletins" into my users maildirs, and I do that simply creating
hard links from the "main" bulletin directory to the Maildirs of my users,
and it are working well :)
