In certain circumstances, this is possible -- but it requires the (probably unknowing) co-operation of the postmaster. For example, my MTA has a default group called "everyone" that "contains" every mail account on the server. This is typically used to broadcast admin messages. With default configuration, any mail addressed to "everyone@..." will be delivered to every user with an account on my mail server. FWIW, I've restricted the "everyone" address and any messages from outside my LAN that are addressed to "everyone@..." end up as an exception report in the postmaster's mailbox. However, any messages to "everyone@..." from inside my LAN are broadcast as the software vendors intend.
