A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to inactive email addresses under the same domain. For instance, an email message sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from mates or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may start receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be delivered to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting

If you’ve got a Linux cloud service with us and you wish to activate the catch-all functionality for a particular email mailbox that you have in your web hosting account, it will take literally only one click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each email address that you have set up under any domain name hosted in your account. You can choose one email address per domain by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature immediately, so all emails sent to misspelled email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you have enabled email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning notification and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature till you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply pick some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The custom-created Hepsia Control Panel that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering will allow you to configure a catch-all email mailbox without difficulty even in case you don’t have much email/web hosting experience. All it takes to do that is to click the catch-all icon, which will be on the right-hand side of each mailbox that you have set up with your domain names in the Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel. Since you can have only one single mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will let you know if you’ve already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you want to use has email forwarding activated. If you reach the decision that you don’t need this feature any longer, you can deactivate it by clicking again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager will also allow you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
