A catch-all e-mailbox is one that collects all the email messages sent to nonexistent addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but someone miswrites it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and in this way you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date address or has made a typographical error. The downside of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of unsolicited emails, but this problem can be fixed by using anti-spam protection software. It’s also vital to keep in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound emails to a third-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting
Creating a catch-all email mailbox will be amazingly easy if you’ve got a Linux web hosting service with us. You can activate this option through our powerful, albeit user-friendly Email Manager, which is built into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will administer your shared hosting account. You’ll see all the mailboxes that you’ve created displayed alphabetically and on the right side of each one there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly inform you if a particular mailbox gets all the email messages associated with a certain domain or not. With one single mouse click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature at any time. If there’s active email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a certain domain name, you’ll receive a warning notice from our system. The latter won’t replace/disable anything automatically and without your consent.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to set up a catch-all address with no more than one click in case you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated hosting service with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you create using any domain name hosted in your account will be enumerated in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a small-size "Catch-all" icon on its right-hand side, so all it will take to activate this option will be to click that icon. In the very same manner you’ll be able to disable the feature, if you do not need it any longer. Our system will notify you if you are attempting to activate a second catch-all email address for a given domain name or if there’s active email forwarding, but it will never modify or disable anything automatically or without your approval.
