A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to non-existent email addresses under the exact same domain. For example, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from colleagues or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Just one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain point you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting
In case you host a domain name on our cloud platform and you have a web hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel offers quite a lot of functions, but it is extremely easy to work with, so configuring a catch-all mailbox takes just one click. All the email addresses that you have will be displayed in this section alphabetically and you’ll just need to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the given address. Our system will warn you if there is already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain name or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or choose some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as simple and takes one more mouse click on the exact same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will allow you to configure a catch-all mailbox with ease even in case you don’t have much email/web hosting experience. All you have to do to accomplish that is click the catch-all icon, which will be to the right of each mailbox that you’ve created using your domains in the Email Manager section of the Control Panel. Since you can have only one single mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will notify you if you have already set up a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you’d like to use has email forwarding enabled. If you decide that you do not need the feature anymore, you can deactivate it by clicking once again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager will also permit you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
