A catch-all email mailbox is one that collects all the email messages sent to non-existent addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but someone mistypes it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Only one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date address or has made a spelling mistake. The negative aspect of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of spam messages, but this issue can be fixed by using anti-spam filtering software. It is also important to keep in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot redirect incoming email messages to a third-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
If you have a cloud plan with our company and you’d like to enable the catch-all feature for a given mailbox that you’ve got in your hosting account, it will take literally just a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available next to each and every email address that you have set up under any domain registered in your account. You can choose one single address per domain by clicking on the corresponding button. This will activate the feature immediately, so all email messages sent to misspelled email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking the button once more will turn off the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning note and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature until you delete the forwarding or you can simply choose another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than a click in case you have a semi-dedicated plan with us and your email messages are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the email addresses that you create with any domain hosted in your account will be displayed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this functionality will be to click that icon. In the very same fashion you’ll be able to deactivate the feature, if you do not need it anymore. Our system will notify you in case you are trying to activate a 2nd catch-all address for a specific domain or if there’s enabled email forwarding, but it’ll never deactivate or alter any feature automatically and without your consent.
