Tom,

TMDA as it stands now is not able to forward to multiple accounts, but 
you could have the [email protected] account TMDA protected, then have 
it deliver the mail to an intermediate dissemination account after it 
gets past the initial info account.

e.g. mail sent to info gets challenged
mail that successfully gets past the challenge gets delivered to a non 
tmda protected account which then redirects the mail to multiple recipients.
Then for any of the multiple recipients that are also TMDA protected 
they should have an incoming rule that uses the whitelist generated by 
the info account as it's source (be sure to make it readable by everyone 
in the redirect).  There might be more direct ways to do this, but I'm 
not in a vpopmail environment, and am no longer in a qmail environment 
either.  Anyway the path would look as follows:

[email protected]>tmda->[email protected]> (multiple addresses 
e.g. [email protected], [email protected], ...)

and each of the final recipients would need a line similar to the 
following in their incoming filter:

from-file -autodbm -optional    
/path/to/vpopmail/user/info's/.tmda/lists/WhiteList ok

ensuring that /path/to/vpopmail/user/info's/.tmda/lists/WhiteList is 
readable by all the final recipients.
