Use a filter to forward to an email list

I would like to use a filter to forward emails to a list that I have created, allowing me to add to or remove addresses from the list for maintenance purposes.

I have tried the same syntax that works in the To, CC or BCC fields, but I always am told to enter a valid email address in the "Forward Message To" option.

Filters won't accept list names, but you can add multiple addresses separated by commas.

Thank you. That method of putting all addresses on a single forward operation separated by commas is better than my original method of multiple forward entries.

Hello there again.

Just because you can place comma separated addresses on a single line and successfully send the mail does not mean the rest of the program supports that..

I'm unsure what the issue would be with "the rest of the program". Use of the commas in a single line eliminated the issue of receiving multiple copies of the FWD - one for each addressee.

So unless there is some hidden disadvantage, I'm happy with the solution.
