   If you use Qmail as your mailer then you can do the following:
The following line in /etc/qmail/virtualdomains will direct mail for user@fake.isp to
family-user@localhost:
fake.isp: family

  Under ~family you setup files named .qmail-dad, .qmail-mum, etc for the different
user names in the fake.isp domain.  The files can specify which mailbox to store the
data in (or where to forward it).

  I plan to write a patch for the qmail POP server to support those mailboxes (if
no-one else beats me to it).
