A catch-all email mailbox is one that collects all the messages sent to nonexistent email addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Just one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and in this way you’ll never miss emails because the other side has an out-of-date address or has made a spelling error. The downside of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of spam messages, but this issue can be rectified using anti-spam protection software. It’s also vital to bear in mind that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all functionality cannot redirect incoming email messages to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting
Creating a catch-all mailbox will be truly easy in case you have a Linux cloud web hosting with us. You can activate this option through our advanced, albeit simple-to-use Email Manager tool, which is an integral part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all the mailboxes that you’ve set up shown in alphabetical order and next to each one of them there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously tell you if a particular mailbox receives all the email messages for a certain domain or not. With one single mouse click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature whenever you wish. If there’s activated email forwarding or in case a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a particular domain name, you’ll receive an alert from our system. The latter won’t replace/disable anything automatically or without your consent.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
A catch-all email address can be set up with a couple of clicks of the mouse in case you have a Linux semi-dedicated plan with our company. The semi-dedicated account will be administered via our custom Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to create email addresses using any domain registered there. To activate the catch-all feature for a particular mailbox, you’ll have to click the sign with the same name, which will be on the right-hand side of each mailbox. Disabling this option can be done in the very same manner and will not require more than a click either. In case the catch-all option has already been activated for a given domain, you’ll receive a warning notice. The same is valid if the mailbox that you want to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never change or deactivate anything automatically.
