In setting up a new web site, broomshead.com, I wanted to be able to forward an email to multiple email addresses. So after a bit of research on the net I found out you could do this by creating filters:

• Login to Gmail
• Click on settings (top right)
• Click Filters
• Click “Create new filter”
• In the “To” field enter your gmail email address
• Click Next Step
• Tick “Skip the inbox” if you want the email archived
• Tick “forward it to” and enter one of the email addresses you want to forward your mail to
• Click Update Filter

Repeat this process for each individual email address you want to forward to.  Pretty simple huh?
