Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Janeway Preprints/Repository administrator, I want apply a contact address at the Repository level. Currently I can only set a contact address at the Press level and that address is applied to all repositories on the server.
I also want to specify a separate 'bounce address' to receive reports of outgoing emails that were returned undeliverable.
Describe the solution you'd like
-
Create email address settings from Press -> Repository Wizard (or some other setting at Repository level) (here we would probably put a 'no-reply' address)
-
Add a new address field: Reply-to address. This should be used as the reply address for all automatic notifications (here we would put something like 'contact@preprintservername.com')
-
Add a new address field: Bounce address. Bounces should be routed to this address. (here we would put something like 'bounces@preprintservername.com')

Research direction
The issue names the Press → Repository Wizard and the existing Press-level contact setting, but no files or tests. Start by tracing those settings and the automatic notification email path. Done means Repository-level no-reply, Reply-to, and Bounce addresses can be configured and used for the corresponding outgoing emails.
