Hello,
open Mercury
Click
Configuration --> Aliases --> Add New Alias
There you can set orders@mystore.com and also select the recipients devided by a ,

Hope I was able to help you

Thank you for response floppy1982.

I have some new questions:
1. Is this method supposed to cause the mail to recognised as "non-local"?
2. The redirected mail is being tagged "non-local" and attempts resolve MX and connect to the mail server then states "Connection Error".

Any suggestions?
 
I don't know if I understand your questions right so it might be wrong. Sounds funny doesn't it ?? :D

1.) The message will be directly redirected so it depends on the sender and the receipient in the alias table if it will be local or non-local.

2.) DNS Reverse and MX resolving are part of your security settings. Certainly mercury tries to resolve them to confirm that it is a real email.

Hope I was able to help you. If I missunderstood your questions just reply.

Thanks, Flo
