Alias to multiple destinations in Exchange Online
I am trying to setup an address in Exchange Online that will forward to multiple recipients, some hosted on the Exchange Online account and some external.
For Example:
Our battery backup system sends power out alerts to UPS@MyDomain.com
That address gets forwarded to several people.
IS_Manager@MyDomain.com
IS_Tech@MyDomain.com
555-555-1111@CellTextGatew
555-555-2222@CellTextGatew
MyDomain.com is the domain hosted at Exchange Online.
We can currently do this with our hosted POP server, but are looking to migrate to Exchange Online.

I tried creating a server rule, but when I send to it I get an unknown recipient reply.
What is UPS @ example.com at the moment? A mailbox?
The usual method for this would be a group, that will allow you to list as many people as you like. Although remember with Exchange you can only add people to a group who have an object in Exchange. Therefore any external addresses will need to be added as Contacts.

On our POP server, UPS@MyDomain.com is defined as an alias. It doesn't have it's own mailbox.
Right now, I don't have it defined as anything on Exchange. It just appears in one of the rules.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

I spoke too soon. That worked for addresses in the domain, but how do I add the text message gateways to the distribution list?
As I wrote in my earlier response, you have to create a contact for every address to add to the group. You can only add AD objects to a group.

But from the Exchange side you can only do a single forwarding rest need to be done with some Outlook or Server rule.
