A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to invalid addresses under the same domain. For example, an email sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can receive email messages from acquaintances or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up 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 restriction implies that the spam will not be re-sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting

In case you have a Linux cloud hosting with our company and you wish to enable the catch-all functionality for a given e-mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it’ll take literally only a click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each and every email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in the account. You can pick one single address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature straight away, so all emails sent to mistyped email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button for a second time will turn off the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got active email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning notice and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature unless you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply choose another mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each semi-dedicated server package that we’re offering will allow you to configure a catch-all e-mailbox without difficulty even if you do not have much email/web hosting experience. All it takes to do that is to click the catch-all icon, which will be to the right of each mailbox that you have set up 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 warn you if you’ve already created another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding enabled. If you decide that you do not need this feature any longer, you can disable it by clicking once again on the very same icon. The Email Manager section will also allow you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
