# Virtual Recipients

If you have an Internal Recipient **joe@domain.tld** but you also want the email address **joe.smoe@domain.tld** to deliver email to **joe@domain.tld**, you would set up a virtual address of joe.smoe@domain.tld to deliver to joe@domain.tld. Please note, Virtual Recipients are not only limited to Internal Recipients. You can also create a Virtual Recipient to deliver email to an outside email address not handled by Hermes SEG. In the above example, we can easily setup joe.smoe@domain.tld to deliver to someone@gmail.com.
