The procmail of that user should forward it (i.e. feed it back to the MTA) to the right user. So what I would do is... - Create a new user (called popper :-) - Let popper fetch the mail - Let his procmail-config sort the mail and feed it back into the MTA towards the right user. - Let the receivers of the mail sort out how it should be stored in their local boxes.
