Can an alias point to a distribution list?

Thanks, bfluet. What you describe was my backup plan, so I'll go that way.

P.S. - Agree with you re: filtering vs. forward file .

The documentation suggests something like:

helpdesk@mydomain.example == fred@mydomain.example

Is it possible to instead do something like:

helpdesk@mydomain.example == @f:\pmail\help.pml

So that multiple users get the message.  Note that we use Mercury and Pmail in an integrated fashion.

TIA

I don't know about an alias pointing to a dlist but I know that you can accomplish what you want by using a Forward file.  I do it to auto-forward mail received to sales@mydomain.com.  The Forward file in the Sales mailbox contains the list of recipient addresses.  I used to do it with a filtering but then discovered the Forward file and found it easier to work with.
