A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to nonexistent email addresses under the same domain name. For example, an email sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get email messages from pals or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at some point you may begin receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be received in a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
If you have a Linux shared website hosting package with us and you would like to activate the catch-all option for a certain mailbox that you’ve got in the web hosting account, it will take literally just a single click of the mouse 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 created under any domain hosted in your account. You can select one address per domain by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature instantly, so all email messages sent to mistyped addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you’ve got enabled email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning message and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature until you delete the forwarding or you can simply pick some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all email address can be set up with a couple of clicks if you have a Linux semi-dedicated package with us. The hosting account will be administered via our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to create mailboxes using any domain hosted here. To enable the catch-all functionality for a mailbox, you will have to click on the button with the same name, which will be on the right side of each mailbox. Disabling this option can be done in the same manner and will not take more than a click either. In case the catch-all functionality has already been activated for a particular domain, you’ll receive a warning alert. The same goes if the mailbox that you wish to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never replace or deactivate anything automatically.
