I've set about a dozen addresses to forward to from one address on the domain. It forwards to the first 5 or so, then i also get a reply from postmaster stating that one of the addresses is not recognized. Funny thing, the address is cut short by about 6 characters. So, I'm thinking there's a limit.

Any one know for sure?

Figured this one out and thought to let everyone know.

You are limited to 110 characters of email addresses or so, about 4 addresses. I had to create a group alias. Then list the addresses in the text box in the alias admin area. It automatically created the text file that contains the email addresses. I tried previously to create the text file myself and point to it, however it didn't work. Let the system handle it.
