A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the messages sent to inactive email addresses. For example, if your 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. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and in this way you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an obsolete address or has made a spelling mistake. The negative aspect of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of unsolicited emails, but this problem can be fixed using an anti-spam filtering solution. It’s also crucial to bear in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot forward inbound email messages to a 3rd-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you will be able to enable the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a few features, but it is exceptionally simple to use, so creating a catch-all mailbox requires only a single click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you’ve created will be enumerated in this section in alphabetical order and you will just need to click the "Catch-all" button pertaining to the particular email address. Our system will notify you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain name or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or pick a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as simple and requires one more click on the very same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than one click in case you have a Linux semi-dedicated package with us and your email messages are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the addresses that you create 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 small "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate the feature will be to click on that icon. In the exact same way you’ll be able to deactivate the feature, in case you do not need it any longer. Our system will inform you if you are trying to activate a 2nd catch-all address for a particular domain name or if there’s activated email forwarding, but it will never change or deactivate anything automatically or without your permission.
