A catch-all mailbox is one that gathers all the email messages sent to invalid email addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Only one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and in this way you will never miss emails because the other party has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling mistake. The drawback of configuring a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving plenty of unsolicited messages, but this problem can be resolved by using an anti-spam protection solution. It’s also vital to remember that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot forward incoming messages to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting

In case you have a Linux cloud hosting with us and you would like to enable the catch-all functionality for a given mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it will take literally only one mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to achieve this. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each and every email address that you have set up under any domain name hosted in your account. You can select one single address per domain name by clicking the respective button. This will enable the feature immediately, 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’ve got active email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary notice and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature till you disable the forwarding or you can simply choose a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is included with every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering will permit you to create a catch-all e-mailbox easily even in case you do not have much email/web hosting experience. All you need to do to achieve that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be on the right-hand side of each mailbox that you’ve created using your domains in the Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel. As you can have just one mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will inform you if you’ve already configured a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding activated. If you decide that you don’t want the feature any longer, you can disable it by clicking once again on the very same icon. The Email Manager will also allow you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
