I believe you would simply enter the various addresses seperated by a semicolon in the Automatic Event Handling task.

Set up an alias (or DL) that has the members of the group. Then specify this alias as a single email address. The mail will be sent to all members of that group.

When there is a change in membership, only have to modify the alias as opposed to modification within the application

Correction to my previous post...

Don't use semicolons, they don't work. I came across another post that stated you should use commas to seperate emails, etc.

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to configure group paging like there is for group emailing. I'll confirm that the delimiter required to separate email names is the comma, not a semi-colon. However, for paging, it seems that you would have to setup a user for each different pager you want alerts forwarded to. - or - You can see if your paging service has the ability to recieve pages via an email address (You should probably get new pager provider if they don't :) ). That is how we setup "group paging" on our SIM....we send pages via SMTP for the critical alerts.
