:Using VMS mail is it possible to set mail forward to more than 
:one address,  or is there a way to achive the same effect?

    This capability of forwarding to multiple users or to a
    distribution list was deliberately removed, due to a lack
    of support in the mail-11 protocol for any errors that might
    be encountered during this operation.

    You will want to evaluate one of the available mailing list
    server packages for OpenVMS.
