# Email Server

By default the Nexudus servers will deliver all emails from the system.

In the email server section you can:

* Set the **From** name on outgoing emails
* Set the **Reply to** email address on outgoing emails
* Enable a blind carbon copy (bcc) of every message to be sent to you or to a specified email address

We recommend you use the Nexudus servers to deliver emails (the default setting). However, you can use your own SMTP server, such as Gmail or Outlook.
