 Sending emails is important for a server. It allows it to notify you of various events (update pending, task failure, breach attempt…).
 This guide will show you two different configuration options:
-* Send only: Simple configuration. The server uses an external SMTP server to send emails. Use this if you want to just receive notification emails from a server.
+* [[Emails/Send | Send only]]: Simple configuration. The server uses an external SMTP server to send emails. Use this if you want to just receive notification emails from a server.
-* Complete: A complete email infrastructure with your own SMTP and IMAP server. Plus a webmail and the much needed spam filter.
+* [[Emails/Complete | Complete]]: A complete email infrastructure with your own SMTP and IMAP server.Including a webmail, a spam filter and an antivirus.
