One option is to manually edit /etc/aliases to redirect messages sent to one
address to two others.  Remember to run newaliases after editing this file.

The other option is to create a mailing list which sends mail to the two
addresses, then forward mail from the first address to the mailing list.
The down side here is that by default Qube 2 mailing lists are set to reply
to the mailing list so you'd have to edit the config file for the mailing
list to change the behaviour to reply to sender.

Given all the editing involved, I'd go with just doing /etc/aliases.

Cheers,  Malcolm
