It would appear that you can only have 1 active forwarding address per filter and there is a limit of 20 filters

Why can't you send it as 20 emails?

I suppose I could create 20 groups each with no more than 25 recipients and send the mail 20 times. Would be easy to miss one out though. Maybe there's some kind of macro I could set up...

Is there any way around this without using a different email provider? There's a good reason I can't change provider st the moment.

Amazon SES shouldn't cost more than 20p to send those mails once you configure the account.
