A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the messages sent to nonexistent email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody misspells it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Just one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you will never miss messages because the other party has an outdated email address or has made a mistake. The disadvantage of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of unsolicited messages, but this problem can be fixed by using an anti-spam protection solution. It’s also vital to remember that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all functionality cannot redirect inbound messages to a third-party email address.

Catch-all Emails in Hosting

If you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a hosting account, you will be able to enable the catch-all functionality for any mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section includes quite a lot of functions, but it is unbelievably intuitive, so configuring a catch-all mailbox takes just one single mouse click. All the email addresses that you have created will be shown in this section alphabetically and you’ll only need to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the specific address. Our system will warn you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or select another mailbox. Disabling the catch-all option is just as simple and requires yet another click on the very same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to configure a catch-all email address with no more than a click if you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated server with us and your emails are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the email addresses that you set up using any domain name hosted in the account will be displayed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a tiny "Catch-all" icon on its right-hand side, so all it will take to enable this option will be to click on that icon. In the same way you will be able to turn off the feature, in case you don’t need it any longer. Our system will notify you in case you’re attempting to activate a second catch-all address for a given domain name or in case there is activated email forwarding, but it will never deactivate or alter any feature automatically or without your permission.
