Using a mailing list to redirect email to a couple of users is probably
overkill since Majordomo will have to process each email sent to the list.
If you're only comfortable using the GUI, it's probably your only option
though.

I recently answered this question for a RaQ1 user, but since it works
exactly the same on the RaQ2 and RaQ3, I'll just paste in my reply.  I don't
know whether the second address in your example is mapped to a user on the
same RaQ3 or an external address so read my reply and modify the solution
accordingly.

0. su - (to su to root user)
1. pico -w /etc/aliases
2. add the following at the very bottom

raq1user1    raq1user2, raq1user3

3. ctrl-o to save
4. newaliases (loads the data from the files you edited into
/etc/aliases.db)

That will take all mail coming in for a user named raq1user1 and deliver it
to raq1user2 and raq1user3.  You could also forward to off-server users.

raq1user1    steven-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx, someone@xxxxxxxxx

Or keep a copy for raq1user1 and forward a copy

raq1user1    raq1user1, steven@xxxxxxxxxxxx
