A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to invalid email addresses under the very same domain. For example, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can receive messages from mates or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted.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 set up for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at a certain point you may start receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting
If you have a shared web hosting service with our company and you’d like to activate the catch-all feature for a certain email mailbox that you have in the web hosting account, it’ll take literally just a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each and every email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in the account. You can choose one single email address per domain by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature straight away, so all emails sent to misspelled email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button once more will disable the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got enabled email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary notification and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you remove the forwarding or you can simply choose another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all feature can be activated without any difficulty in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve created using the domains hosted in your semi-dedicated server account will be shown in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will notice a mini logo handily situated directly next to each of them. With just one single click of the mouse, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choosing as long as there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with this option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on an email address and activate this feature through the context menu that will surface. If any of the prerequisites for creating a catch-all mailbox is not fulfilled, our system will let you know, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
