My guess the easiest hack is to create a local alias (/etc/aliases) that
will relay the mail to multiple users.

This is Too obvious to work, but what if you set up a voicemail group and
entered that group number instead of an extension.  If you have extensions
1001, 1002 and 1003 and you set up a group 2001 that contained all 3
extensions, would the voicemail app not forward to that group?
