 as a non-enterprise user you will have to run updates from the command line, while enterprise users can do it from the web-ui IIRC (i am a poor private user ;))
+===== Create new users =====
+to manage user accounts, login to adminer to edit your ''mailserver'' database.
+first make sure the domain is added by checking the ''domains'' table. if the domain does not exist, add it.
+make note of the domain id of the domain you want to add a new user for.
+to add a new forwarding, make a new entry in the ''aliases'' table, make sure you don't forget to fill in the ''domain_id'' field
+to add a new user account, make a new entry in the users table. make sure you don't forget to fill in the ''domain_id'' field. leave ''quota'' empty or 0 in order to not enforce a mail box quota. if you want to set a quota, enter the amount of space the mailbox is allowed to use **in bytes**. for the ''password'' field, you need to generate a password hash on the command line of your mailserver. use the command
+  dovecot pw -s SHA256-CRYPT
+and then enter the new password. It will return a SHA hash which you can then enter in the password field.
+lastly, to activate the new mail user account, send an email to that address.
+===== add a new domain =====
+to add a new domain to the mail system, complete the following steps:
+  - add the domain on the Proxmox Mail Gateway to the "Relay Domains" list
+  - add the domain to your mailserver database, as mentioned above
+  - update the DNS records of your domain to point to the mailfitler and also add these entries: <code>
+autoconfig              IN      CNAME   mail
+autodiscover            IN      CNAME   mail
+_dmarc                  IN      TXT     "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=100"
+@                       IN      TXT     "v=spf1 mx ~all"
+20200101._domainkey     IN      TXT     ( "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; ".... copy/paste from PMG
+</code>you can get the correct entry for he DKIM1 key from your proxmox mail gateway web gui, just go to Configuration --> Mail Proxy --> DKIM and click on the "view DNS record" button
