1) Setup a group.
2) Make the accounts that you want the email to be delivered to members of the group.
3) Send / forward email to the group and everyone (in the group) will receive the email

If I have understood what you are trying to achive.

Tipz,

  I'm with you on this one.  I've even tried setting things in the command line, probably much the way you are doing things with the Lazy Admin Tools (LAT):

db accounts setprop ttestman ForwardAddress \
ttestman@yahoo.com,ttestman@gmail.com

This creates the appropriate entry in the db, which you can see with the command: db accounts show ttestman   but.... the .qmail file for Mr. Testman doesn't look right:

&ttestman@yahoo.com,ttestman@gmail.com

Let's ask again if anyone knows how to do this... other then building a group for each user who need multpile forwards.   :-D

Tipz,

  My memory isn't all that good.  Apparently I started a thread about this subject a few months ago:

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=30595.0

The answer then was use groups.
