[Koha] Send all notices to all available eMail addresses

[Hector Gonzalez]

If the comma doesn´t do the trick, you might have a chat with your sysadmin, and make mail aliases in a local mail server, say "thiskid at parents.yourdomain <mailto:thiskid at parents.yourdomain>" would resend its messages to "parentofthiskid at theirmailserver, otherparentofthiskid at theirothermailserver, thiskid at whenkidgetsanemail"

It´s not simple, but it may work for you.  With postfix this could be done with alias tables, within a file or a database.

Unfortunately, as you already assumed, Koha comes up with an error message, claiming the email address not to be correct. We have tried several combinations of blank and semicolon, but none was accepted.
