A catch-all email mailbox is one that gathers all the emails sent to non-existent addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but someone misspells it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and in this way you will never miss emails because the other party has an obsolete address or has made a typographical error. The disadvantage of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of junk email messages, but this issue can be resolved by using an anti-spam filtering solution. It’s also important to know that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound messages to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting
If you host a domain name on our cloud web hosting platform and you have a shared web hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all functionality for any mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel offers quite a lot of functions, but it’s stunningly simple to work with, so creating a catch-all mailbox requires only one click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have created will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you will simply need to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the respective address. Our system will notify you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain name or if the one that you’d like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either disable the latter feature or pick some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as simple and takes yet another click on the very same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to set up a catch-all address with no more than one click if you have a Linux semi-dedicated hosting service with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud platform. All the mailboxes that you set up with any domain hosted in the semi-dedicated account will be listed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this feature will be to click on that icon. In the same manner you’ll be able to remove the feature, if you do not need it anymore. Our system will warn you in case you’re attempting to enable a 2nd catch-all mailbox for a certain domain name or if there is active email forwarding, but it will never modify or deactivate any feature automatically and without your consent.
