A catch-all email mailbox is one that collects all the messages sent to invalid addresses. For example, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody mistypes 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 mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling error. The disadvantage of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of unsolicited bulk emails, but this problem can be fixed using anti-spam protection software. It’s also crucial to know that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward incoming emails to a 3rd-party address.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting
You’ll be able to create a catch-all mailbox without any difficulty in case you’ve got a cloud web hosting account with us. The Email Manager in our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is feature-laden, yet exceptionally user-friendly, and it will permit you to enable various options, including the catch-all one, with no more than several clicks. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be shown in alphabetical order in this section and on the right-hand side of each of them you will find a tiny "Catch-all" icon. Clicking it once will enable the feature, clicking it once more will disable it. As you can have only one such mailbox per domain name, our system will notify you if you already have another one with this option activated or if you’ve got active email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The catch-all feature can be enabled without difficulty if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve set up using the domain names hosted in the account will be enumerated in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will see a mini sign conveniently located right next to each one of them. With just one single mouse click, you can enable or disable 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 enable the feature using the context menu that will surface. In case any of the conditions for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not fulfilled, our system will warn you, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
