+      Instead, a <%= link_to "Service Email Address from Vienna University", main_app.service_email_url, target: "_blank", class: "text-primary-500 underline hover:text-primary-600" %> is used as a central hub for admin emails. All admin emails are sent to the service email address (facemf54), which redirects all tickets and notifications as defined in that account.
+    </p>
+    <p class="text-sm mb-4">
+      The reason behind this is that users can also have direct contact with the admins via backoffice@facem.at, which requires a managed email service anyway. So instead of having two places to manage recipients of admin tickets, we unify the configuration in one place.
+    </p>
+    <p class="text-sm mb-4">
+      In order to also receive admin emails you will need to ask somebody with access to the service email account to add your email address to

+      After that is configured you can send test emails via the "Send Test Email" button.
