A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to invalid email addresses. For example, 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 configured. Just one single mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an out-of-date address or has made a mistake. The downside of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of spam messages, but this problem can be resolved using an anti-spam filtering solution. It’s also vital to keep in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward inbound email messages to a 3rd-party email address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

Creating a catch-all mailbox will be unbelievably easy if you’ve got a Linux shared hosting service with us. You can activate this option through our advanced, yet intuitive Email Manager, which is an integral part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your account. You will find all the mailboxes that you’ve created listed alphabetically and on the right-hand side of each one there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously let you know if a specific mailbox receives all the messages for a certain domain name or not. With one mouse click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature at any time. If there is enabled email forwarding or in case another mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a particular domain name, you’ll receive a warning text message from our system. The latter will not replace/deactivate anything automatically or without your approval.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The catch-all functionality can be enabled without any effort if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with us. All the email addresses that you have created with the domains hosted in your semi-dedicated account will be displayed in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and you will see a small-size icon conveniently situated directly next to each of them. With just a single click of the mouse, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choice provided that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain name with the option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on an email address and enable this option through the context menu that will show up. If any of the conditions for creating a catch-all mailbox is not fulfilled, our system will notify you, but will not disable or replace anything automatically.
