A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to non-existent email addresses under the exact same domain. For example, an email message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can get messages from acquaintances or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be re-sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
You’ll be able to create a catch-all email mailbox with ease if you’ve got a cloud hosting plan with our company. The Email Manager in our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is full-featured, yet really easy to use, and it will enable you to activate different options, including the catch-all one, with just a few clicks. All the email addresses that you have will be listed in alphabetical order in this section and on the right-hand side of each one you’ll find a small "Catch-all" icon. Clicking it once will enable this option, clicking it once more will disable it. Since you can have just one such mailbox per domain name, our system will notify you if you’ve already got a different mailbox with this feature activated or if you have activated email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all address can be created with a few mouse clicks if you have a Linux semi-dedicated hosting with us. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be managed via our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to create mailboxes with any domain hosted here. To activate the catch-all functionality for a specific mailbox, you’ll need to click on the logo with the exact same name, which will be on the right side of each email address. Disabling the feature can be done in the same manner and will not require more than one click either. In case the catch-all feature has already been enabled for a certain domain name, you’ll receive a warning notification. The same is valid if the mailbox that you’d like to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never alter or deactivate anything automatically.
