Make a new group with just those users in it and then forward to the new group.

Thank you for your answer.
This is possibility if those users are located in the same domain.

But I want to forward to let's say:
name@yahoo.com, name@someothercompany.com or sms@mobileoperator.com

I can made dummy users:
namedummy@mymain.com nad make a forward to  name@yahoo.com.

and that namedummy is part of the group to whom I would like to forward.
 
I just want to know if there is possibility to skip this step and make some syntax in Admin Manager to say that name@domain.com has been forwarded to : name@yahoo.com and sms@mobileoperator.com.

Right now I can forward to only one external address.

Most SMTP clients and servers understand a comma separated list of email addresses (Microsoft's insistence on using the semi-colon is a bastardization.) Therefore, you should be able to create a user, specifiy to forward messages, and then enter a list of addresses in the ForwardAddress field.

For example, create an account named "mylist" and in the "Forward to" field enter something like this:

     user1@here.com,user2@there.com,user3@everywhere.com

I've confirmed that SME 5.6 will at least save that configuration. I have not tested to see that it is handled properly. Nor have i checked to see if SME length limits the entry, so I don't know how many addresses could be stored this way.
