It's probably easiest to set up a user on your mail server to receive the 
voicemail messages that are meant for multiple recipients, then just use a 
procmail recipe on that user's account to send copies to everyone else who 
needs one.  Something like this;

:0:
* From:.*asterisk
!anna at localhost bob at localhost charlie at some.place.else dave at localhost

This is all from memory, so be sure to read `man procmail` .....

To save space on the mail server, you might want to pipe it through a script 
which strips off the attachment and saves it to a password-protected folder 
where apache can serve it up by HTTP, then notify the intended recipients 
with a short message  (but note I grew up in the days of kilobytes aot 
gigabytes, so this might be overkill).
