A catch-all email mailbox is one that collects all the emails sent to non-existent addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone miswrites it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and in this way you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling mistake. The downside of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of junk emails, but this issue can be resolved using anti-spam filtering software. It’s also essential to know that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward inbound emails to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Hosting
Creating a catch-all email mailbox will be astonishingly easy in case you’ve got a Linux hosting plan with our company. You can activate the feature through our advanced, albeit easy-to-use Email Manager tool, which is included in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will manage the account itself. You will find all the email addresses that you’ve created listed alphabetically and next to each one of them there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously tell you whether a particular mailbox gets all the email messages pertaining to a certain domain or not. With one single click on the icon you can enable or disable this option whenever you want. In case there’s enabled email forwarding or in case another mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a specific domain, you will receive a warning notification from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically and without your approval.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than one click if you’ve got a semi-dedicated plan with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the email addresses that you set up using any domain hosted in the account will be enumerated in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon on its right-hand side, so all it will take to enable this feature will be to click on that icon. In the very same manner you’ll be able to remove the feature, if you do not need it any longer. Our system will inform you in case you are trying to enable a 2nd catch-all mailbox for a particular domain or if there’s active email forwarding, but it will never deactivate or alter any feature automatically or without your permission.
