Virtual Recipients

Virtual Recipients are recipients that are not directly mapped to recipient mailboxes. For example, 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 Hermes SEG 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.

Note: Any email destined for a virtual recipient are NOT processed by the Bayes Spam Filter. In other words, email will not be checked for spam.
