5.3. Groups

Groups are functional entities meant to have emails sent to specified email addresses.

Groups do not have an actual mailbox. They are defined with a generic name, such as 'Sales' or 'Team' or 'Office' and an email address is created following the groupname@domain pattern, and then group members are added. Thus you can make sure that several recipients get email from a published email address (i.e. contact@mycompany.com). Also, you can change the recipient email addresses without having to change the published email address.

For all managed groups, system administrators can add and remove members at any time. They can also add as many message rules as needed to ensure a proper security policy for any given group.
In AXIGEN, the maximum number of groups that can be defined for a server/domain cannot be greater than the number of licensed mailboxes.
