A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the email messages sent to invalid email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody misspells it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you will never miss emails because the other party has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling error. The negative aspect of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of unsolicited bulk email messages, but this problem can be fixed by using an anti-spam protection solution. It’s also essential to bear in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot forward incoming messages to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting

Setting up a catch-all mailbox will be very easy if you have a Linux cloud web hosting package with our company. You can enable this feature through our advanced, yet simple-to-use Email Manager, which is built into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will manage the shared hosting account itself. You’ll see all the email addresses that you have set up enumerated alphabetically and on the right side of each one there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will quickly inform you if a specific mailbox receives all the emails pertaining to a certain domain name or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature at any time. In case there is active email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a given domain name, you’ll get a warning message from our system. The latter will not disable/replace anything automatically or without your consent.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The catch-all option can be activated effortlessly if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company. All the email addresses that you have created with the domains hosted in your semi-dedicated account will be enumerated in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll find a tiny button handily located directly next to each one of them. With just a click of the mouse, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your desire on the condition that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain name with the option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on an email address and activate this feature using the context menu that will appear. If any of the requirements for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not met, our system will notify you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
