A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the emails sent to nonexistent email 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 name can have this feature activated and thus you will never miss emails because the other side has an obsolete email address or has made a typo. The negative aspect of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of unsolicited email messages, but this issue can be solved by using anti-spam filtering software. It’s also vital to bear in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot redirect inbound messages to a 3rd-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting

In case you’ve got a Linux web hosting package with us and you would like to enable the catch-all feature for a specific e-mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it’ll take literally only a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish this. A catch-all button is available next to each and every email address that you have set up under any domain name hosted in the account. You can pick one email address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature straight away, so all email messages sent to misspelled email addresses will be received there. Clicking on the button once again will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning message and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature till you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply select another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
