A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to inactive email addresses under the exact same domain. For instance, a message sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from buddies or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an obsolete 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 set up for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at some moment you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be sent to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud web hosting platform and you’ve got a web hosting account, you will be able to enable the catch-all feature for any email mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a few features, but it’s remarkably simple to work with, so configuring a catch-all mailbox takes just a click. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be listed in this section alphabetically and you’ll only need to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the given address. Our system will warn you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or choose another mailbox. Disabling the catch-all option is just as simple and takes one more mouse click on the very same button.
