Kolab uses postfix, but i have only tried this setup in a normal postfix
environment, but it might work.
In /etc/aliases you can specify a alias, and the recipient(s). I use this in my
dorm to distribuate system mails to the sysadms. It works fine.

Kolab might have something smarter with shared folders.

it's not really a problem, it just wasnt a part of the speclist. that the
contracting companies did with the german bundestag, so it hasnt been made yet.
But there has been other requests of this feature, and the answer was:
If you want it so bad, why not get together with other "customers" and contract
those companies to make it. (see the list for the mails).
