i missed the beginning of this thread that actually asked the
question, but from this proposal is sounds like someone wanted
to make a mailing list of sorts.

have your root create an /etc/aliases entry that defines an :include: file
that you can edit without being root. that way you are not creating
a new account, do not have to mess with .forward files, and do not have
to be root to maintain the list.
