Distribution list similar to outlook functionality

At my previous job we used Outlook to create distribution lists that senders outside the org were able to send to. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird? We are using dreamhost to host our emails.

What I want to do is make a distribution list called sales@company.com. When a client emails that address, all employees on the sales team get a copy of the email, and when they reply to the client with sales@ cc'd, all the other sales team members get it too.

Thanks for your help. I have been researching and have no experience with mail administration.

Such distribution lists are normally done at the server level. Possibly, your prior job used a website Outlook account to achieve this? You could achieve something similar with an info account that had a filter to redirect to the sales team. This would require the person who had that PC to manage the sending of the messages. As a possibility, check with dreamhost to see if that capability exists.
