A catch-all email mailbox receives messages sent to invalid addresses under the very same domain name. For example, an email sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can receive email messages from partners or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an old one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be delivered to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
Creating a catch-all e-mailbox will be truly easy in case you’ve got a Linux shared hosting with our company. You can activate the feature through our powerful, albeit simple-to-use Email Manager, which is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll manage the account itself. You will see all the mailboxes that you’ve created enumerated in alphabetical order and to the right of each one there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately tell you if a certain mailbox stores all the emails associated with a certain domain name or not. With a single mouse click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this option whenever you want. If there’s active email forwarding or in case a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain name, you’ll get a warning from our system. The latter won’t disable/replace anything automatically and without your permission.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server package that we offer will permit you to configure a catch-all e-mailbox without effort even in case you don’t have much web/email hosting experience. All it takes to achieve that is to click on the catch-all icon, which will be on the right-hand side of each mailbox that you’ve set up using your domains in the hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. As you can have only one mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will notify you if you’ve already configured a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you would like to use has email forwarding enabled. In case you decide that you do not need this feature anymore, you can remove it by clicking once again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager section will also permit you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
