A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to nonexistent email addresses under the exact same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive email messages from acquaintances or clients 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 enabled for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain point you may begin receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be redirected to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
If you’ve got a Linux shared website hosting with our company and you wish to enable the catch-all option for a certain mailbox that you have in the web hosting account, it’ll take literally only one single click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to achieve this. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each email address that you have created under any domain registered in the account. You can select one address per domain name by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature instantaneously, so all messages sent to misspelled email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button once more will disable the catch-all feature. In case you have active email forwarding, our system will show a warning notification and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature until you disable the forwarding or you can simply select another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will allow you to create a catch-all e-mailbox without any efforts even if you don’t have much web/email hosting experience. All it takes to achieve that is to click the catch-all icon, which will be on the right side of each mailbox that you have set up with your domain names in the hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. As you can have only one mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will warn you if you’ve already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you would like to use has email forwarding activated. If you reach the decision that you don’t need this feature anymore, you can deactivate it by clicking again on the very same icon. The Email Manager will also allow you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
