A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to nonexistent email addresses under the same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive emails from mates or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at some point you may begin receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be sent to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting

Configuring a catch-all e-mailbox will be truly easy if you’ve got a Linux website hosting package with us. You can enable this feature through our advanced, albeit simple-to-use Email Manager, which is an indivisible part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will administer your shared web hosting account. You will find all the mailboxes that you’ve set up shown alphabetically and on the right side of each one there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly let you know whether a specific mailbox stores all the messages pertaining to a given domain or not. With one single mouse click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this feature at any moment. In case there is active email forwarding or in case a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain name, you will get a warning notice from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically or without your approval.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server package that we are offering will permit you to configure a catch-all email mailbox without any difficulties even if you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All you need to do to accomplish that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be next to each email address that you’ve created using your domains in the Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Since you can have just one mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will let you know if you’ve already set up a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding activated. In case you decide that you don’t need the feature any longer, you can turn it off by clicking once again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager section will also permit you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
