Yes, if your using mutil to process the incoming mail.

In your .ini file you use to call the "Import Echomail" stanza, I use
mailin.ini, check the 'forward' lines.

For example:
forward = TickFix;Filefix

I had a few of these lines set up in my mailin.ini file. So if someone sent a
netmail message to Sysop, it would forward to me. I also had a few
misspellings of my name added, so I would still get the netmail messages. ;)

Hope that helps.
