I would do this with a Mailman mailing list (of course I'm a Mailman
developer, and as they say, when your only tool is a hammer, everything
looks like a nail - YMMV)
If you had Mailman installed you just set up your
accountspayable at mydomain.com list as a Mailman 'anonymous' list. Then
any mail to accountspayable at mydomain.com is distributed to the list
members From: accountspayable at mydomain.com.
