It will. Add following line to /etc/aliases on the box that get's the mail:
alladdresses:	mail1 at somedomain.xx,mail2 at someotherdomain.yy,...

Don't forget a "newaliases" afterwards.
If *all* your mail servers get mails and you want to receive them on all 
other boxes, too, this doesn't work - if you do this on all servers at the 
same time, you'll have these mails  bouncing all over the place.
