This sounds like an alias to me.  I use an alias to handle a mailing
list from my site at work.  In my case, I have the alias defined in
/usr/lib/mail/saliases (as I'm running smail 2.5 there), but a similar
file should/could exist on most systems in a similar directory.

There are of course more complex ways of doing this.
