Using the FORWARD file to forward to mutiple addresses

A FORWARD file can contain as many Forward-To lines as you like. There should only be one Deliver-Also line, though.

Alternatively you could create a mailing list and use that to distribute messages to a group of recipients, or you could point an alias to a rule set that copies the message to various local accounts.

Hi,

I want make an email address that senders can send to, and have a FORWARD file forward the email to many local accounts.

My FORWARD file looks like this:

Forward-To:  <some alias or email addy>

Deliver-Also: N

Forward-To: <another alias or email addy>

Deliver-Also: N

etc, up to 100 Forward-To's

Will this work?  Specifically, The number of forwards. I know it works for 1 or 2, but is there a limit on on how many forwards a FORWARD file can contain?

TIA,
