| | 3 | Email address that the server includes in error messages sent to the client. |

| | 5 | The `ServerAdmin` sets the contact address that the server includes in any error messages it returns to the client. |
| | 6 | If the server doesn't recognize the supplied argument as an URL, it assumes, that it's an email-address and prepends it with mailto: in hyperlink targets. |
| | 7 | However, it's recommended to actually use an email address, since there are a lot of CGI scripts that make that assumption. |
| | 8 | If you want to use an URL, it should point to another server under your control. |
| | 9 | Otherwise users may not be able to contact you in case of errors. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | It may be worth setting up a dedicated address for this, e.g. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | {{{ |
| | 14 | ServerAdmin admin@example.net |
| | 15 | }}} |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | as users do not always mention that they are talking about the server! |
