Hey fellow forum members,

I've been trying to configure my email notification settings, and I've noticed that I can only enter one email address. Is it even possible to add more than one email address for email notifications? I'm wondering if there's a way to receive notifications at multiple email addresses from the Sync option.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Simple,

Send to a list instead. Does your mail server let you create mailing lists?

Do you mean more of a distribution group? I had thought about that too, but that would be a lot of work because I have set it up on many servers with 2 email addresses. I thought you could enter, for example, like on many SMTP servers: test1@mail.com; test2@mail.com

with a semicolon after the email, but I hope it's possible, if not I have to live with it.

Yes. I was referring to a distribution list.
If you know how to write scripts, you can send email to more than one user from the command line. I don't think FFS lets you do more than one.

The program I use is MSMTP (free) from here: https://marlam.de/msmtp/

Here is another method using only Powershell, only I find it more difficult. Not that MSMTP is easy. It has a learning curve.

That's about it.

If directly sending to multiple E-mail accounts does not work out,
you may consider defining a forwarding rule at your mail provider
or in your mail program.
E.g. have FFS send the E-mail to said test1@mail.com account
and at your test1@mail.com provider,
or in your mail program (e.g. Outlook) that receives test1@mail.com mail,
define a forwarding rule based on Sender or on Topic to forward
those mails to test2@mail.com.

Plerry,

GREAT idea!

Wish I had thought about it. It sounds logical and should work. It's better to have the mail server use a server-side forwarding rule (I do this in Gmail) so it's always active. Not depending on Outlook client for example to forward the email only after the app is run on the client.
