A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to non-existent addresses under the same domain. For instance, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive messages from colleagues or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error 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 some moment you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be re-sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Hosting
If you have a hosting service with our company and you want to activate the catch-all functionality for a particular mailbox that you’ve got in your hosting account, it will take literally just one single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each and every email address that you have set up under any domain name registered in your account. You can pick one single email address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature right away, so all email messages sent to misspelled addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button for a second time will disable the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary message and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature until you remove the forwarding or you can simply pick some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each semi-dedicated server plan that we’re offering will allow you to create a catch-all email mailbox easily even in case you don’t have much web/email hosting experience. All it takes to achieve that is to click the catch-all icon, which will be on the right side of each mailbox that you have set up with your domain names in the Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel. Since you can have only one mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will notify you if you’ve already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding activated. In case you decide that you do not need the feature any longer, you can remove it by clicking once again on the very same icon. The Email Manager section will also permit you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
