Default redirecting mail from one address to two different accounts?

We're using Postfix 2.2.10 on an RedHat AS4.
we have an email address, customerservice@(domain).com which needs to
be received by two different people.
Now, I have it set up so that both their clients will check that one
account and "leave message on server" so both can get it...but that
still causes problems.
Is there something through Postfix that can allow me to fork the mail
for customerservice@ to their two individual mail accounts? Aliasing,
canonical mapping, virtual mapping, whatever?
I can't figure out how it can be done, if at all.

Thanks for any suggestions!
Liam

How are you currently doing the rewriting? In /etc/aliases:

example: bob, joe, fred@somewhere.example.com

....mail to example@example.org will be delivered to both bob and joe's
local addresses, and to fred@somewhere.example.com 's remote account.
At least it did that when I tested it out. YMMV. If you need something
different from this, holler. HTH,

Well, that did it!
I didn't think you could just add more comma separated accounts to
aliases.
Thanks for the help!
