Rich, To flesh out Wiggins' response a little, I would do something like this: use forward to pipe the mail that will take the messages and write them to a specific directory. You can use something in the Mail::* or MIME::* suites to parse them and save them in a usable format, and add a "this message has been forward from" announcement if you want. Use File::Temp or similar to give each a unique filename, preferably based on the original or new recipients' email. Then write a script based on Mail::Mailer or MIME:Lite to go through the directory and mail them back out at your convenience. You can write it as a daemon, run it as a cron job, or just run it from the command line, depending on your needs. If you put useful information in the filenames, you can easily send just the mail to one remote user, or just them mail to one of the local users being forwarded.
