What should I put for webmaster email?

Does Ubuntu Server have some kind of internal email where an email addressed to: webmaster@domain1.com would land?

Or should I put my email address where webmaster@domain1.com is in this configuration file?

Code:

# Content of: /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain1.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName domain1.com
    ServerAlias www.domain1.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1.com/public_html

    <Directory /var/www/domain1.com/public_html>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/domain1.com-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/domain1.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Should I put some kind of footer with a link to this email??

I have never done that.

Hardly anyone uses my webpage, just a some students during term time. If they want me, they send a message in QQ.

You should populate the ServerAdmin with a valid email address. It will be displayed on web server error pages.
Personally, I’ve set up an alias, support@, which is routed to a real mailbox. It need not be used anywhere else, although it could be if you wished.
