A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to inactive email addresses under the very same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can receive messages from friends 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 disabled. Just one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain point you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting
Creating a catch-all e-mailbox will be incredibly easy if you’ve got a Linux web hosting package with our company. You can activate the feature through our powerful, yet intuitive Email Manager, which is an integral part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your web hosting account. You’ll find all the mailboxes that you’ve created listed in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side of each one of them there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately inform you whether a certain mailbox stores all the email messages associated with a given domain name or not. With a single click on the icon you can activate or deactivate the feature whenever you wish. If there’s active email forwarding or if some other mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you will get a warning notification from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically and without your permission.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than one click if you have a semi-dedicated hosting package with our company and your email messages are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you set up with any domain name hosted in the semi-dedicated hosting account will be displayed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a tiny "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to enable this option will be to click that icon. In the very same way you’ll be able to turn off the feature, in case you don’t need it anymore. Our system will notify you if you are trying to enable a 2nd catch-all mailbox for a given domain or in case there is activated email forwarding, but it will never change or deactivate anything automatically or without your approval.
