The incoming email field seems to be limited to a single address. Would it be possible to allow multiple here?

usecase: we have info@ sales@ and several others that all go to the same mailbox.

Mentioned in my reopen request, here for reference:

The UI is missing any kind of indicator that this functionality is available and what the delimiter is.

Yeah, +1… I inspected the code to find the delimiter is a `|` (no spaces between the pipe)

Just because I stumbled upon this topic and the documentation is missing, at least from here…

## How to assign multiple email addresses to a group

You can add multiple email addresses to a single group by separating them with a |.

Browse to `https://discourse.example/g/group-name/manage/interaction`, and then in the **Email** field you can enter:

`group-name@discourse.example|info@discourse.example`

Then your group will be able to receive email from both `group-name@discourse.example` and `info@discourse.example`.

[I added](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22926) a tooltip here that will appear for new and existing groups:

(It’s the same tooltip we show while editing Settings for a Category)
