Creating 20 email accounts on the hostgator cpanel. Import those into gmail via pop3, then setup filters that forward them as they come in to their respective private email addresses. It works but I just realized that gmail only allows 5 email accounts to be added per gmail account. So now I may have to do several others. :-)
