A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to invalid email addresses under the very same domain. For example, an email sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can get messages from buddies or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at some moment you may begin receiving spam email 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 Web Hosting
If you have a Linux web hosting with our company and you’d like to enable the catch-all functionality for a specific mailbox that you have in the hosting account, it’ll take literally only a click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each and every email address that you have created under any domain name registered in the account. You can select one email address per domain name by clicking the respective button. This will enable the feature instantaneously, so all email messages sent to miswritten email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button again will disable the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary message and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature until you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply pick a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to configure a catch-all email address with no more than one click if you have a Linux semi-dedicated hosting with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the addresses that you set up using any domain name hosted in the semi-dedicated account will be shown in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a small "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this option will be to click that icon. In the very same fashion you will be able to remove the feature, if you no longer need it. Our system will let you know in case you are attempting to enable a second catch-all email address for a particular domain name or in case there’s active email forwarding, but it will never disable or alter anything automatically or without your approval.
