postal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'such orders can be' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'sent to pals' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates an anagram (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'to'+'pals'='topals'
'topals' anagrammed gives 'POSTAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postal that I've seen before include "Type of order" , "Relating to mail service" , "To do with snail mail" , "to go so mad in America" , "Sort of vote" .)
