mail to multiple users

[Jules Agee]

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere in the docs that Cyrus 
already does this. If a single message is addressed to multiple users it 
creates a hard link to the same message in each mailbox. Nothing special 
required, as long as it's one message with multiple recipients.
