System Settings

ThisThe section allows you to associate a system email address (Postmaster E-mail Address) to an external email address (Admin E-mail Address) for all system related notifications as well as enter a Serial Number in order to unlock all the features of Hermes SEG Pro.

The Postmaster E-mail Address MUST BE BE on a domain that the system currently delivers email for and the Admin E-mail Address Address SHOULD BE BE an email address for a domain that Hermes SEG does NOT deliver email for. Even though the system will allow you to enter an Admin E-mail Address for a domain that Hermes SEG deliver email for, it's not recommended. The Admin E-mail Address should be an external to the system e-mail address.

The system will automatically create virtual addresses for postmaster, abuse and root based on the Postmaster E-mail Address you set. For example, if your Postmaster E-mail Address is is postmaster@domain.tld and your Admin E-mail Address is someone@otherdomain.tld, the system will automatically create the following virtual mapping:address:

  • postmaster@domain.tld will deliver e-mail to---> someone@otherdomain.tld

The system will also create the following two virtual addresses and related mappings based on the postmaster e-mail address domain part:

  • abuse@domain.tld will deliver---> email to someone@otherdomain.tld
  • root@domain.tld will deliver email to---> someone@otherdomain.tld

The virtual mappingsaddress the system creates can be viewed under under Gateway ---> Virtual Recipients.
