A catch-all e-mailbox is one that captures all the email messages sent to non-existent 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 created. Just one single mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an outdated address or has made a spelling error. The downside of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving plenty of junk emails, but this issue can be rectified by using anti-spam protection software. It’s also vital to bear in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot redirect inbound messages to a 3rd-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
If you host a domain on our cloud web hosting platform and you have a shared website hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all functionality for any mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel offers quite a few features, but it’s astonishingly easy to work with, so configuring a catch-all mailbox takes just one mouse click. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you will just need to click on the "Catch-all" button pertaining to the particular address. Our system will alert you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or select a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as simple and takes yet another mouse click on the very same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all feature can be enabled with ease in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you have set up with the domains hosted in the account will be displayed in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll notice a mini sign handily located directly next to each of them. With only a single mouse click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your liking as long as there isn't another mailbox under that same domain name with the option already enabled and there isn't enabled email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on an email address and activate this feature using the menu that will appear. If any of the preconditions for setting up a catch-all mailbox is not satisfied, our system will notify you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
