I've never used an email client that didn't support multiple accounts.

So again, I'm not sure what problem he's trying to solve here. To be clear I'm not saying he shouldn't be able to set up his email this way and have it work, just that I don't get why he WANTS to do it this way. What is it accomplishing?

Gmail.com is this email client. You can't add an external account, you have to forward.

gmail.com supports fetching email from external servers via POP (it's under settings, accounts). His users could use that and skip most of gmail's spam filtering completely. It doesn't (reliably) support forwarding mail to it without using some list software in the middle. I believe if jwz set up mailman or something similar, it wouldn't have a problem with that, because mailman would properly re-write the envelope sender as the list address.

You can add external POP accounts, and I think that would be the solution for OPs problem.
