This is wildly off topic for this list, IMNSHO.  You need to investigate 
either your MTA's capabilities (Postfix can do distribution lists, for 
example) or get a real list management package (ezmlm works great if you 
are in the Qmail world).  For that matter, you can use almost any of the 
existing LDA's out there (maildrop, etc) to create simple distribution 
lists; you could even use Dovecot's LDA with SIEVE rules, but that still 
doesn't make it on topic here.

There is absolutely no reason to try and bolt this functionality onto an 
IMAP/POP3 server.
