Multipe receipients for Operators in SQL 2005?

Using database mail. It works using a single email address for an operator.
Adding a second email address after a semicolon still sends to the first
email address but not the second. Separating them with a comma breaks the
whole thing, no email is sent.
Does this mean I have to create a dl in Exchange, if I need to notify more
than one person for a given event?

Hi Gerhard,
That's usually the easiest way. It also allows who is on the list to be
managed externally easily.
HTH,

So are you saying it cannot be managed from the Operator page?
I would have preferred to handle it in SQL Server rather than Exchange,

Forget that question. It works with semicolons. I re-created everything
today and did some more testing. SQL 2005 has been difficult for us.
One thing I've noticed is that things often don't work on the first try, and
then when you blow them away and re-create them they start working.
I have a SRX with Microsoft right now, not on this, on something much more
serious where even they can't get it to work. It is just not working at
all. I guess I keep forgetting that it is an initial release and that it
behaves as such,
