A catch-all email mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to inactive email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone 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 mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and in this way you will never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling error. The drawback of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving plenty of spam, but this problem can be resolved using anti-spam protection software. It’s also essential to bear in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound emails to a third-party email address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

If you host a domain on our cloud web hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with quite a few features, but it is remarkably simple to work with, so creating a catch-all mailbox requires only one single mouse click. All the email addresses that you have will be listed in this section alphabetically and you’ll only need to click on the "Catch-all" button for the given address. Our system will inform you if there is 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 activated, so you can either turn off the latter feature or pick some other mailbox. Disabling the catch-all option is just as easy and takes one more mouse click on the exact same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to configure a catch-all email address with no more than one click if you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated hosting with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the addresses that you set up with any domain hosted in your semi-dedicated hosting account will be shown in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a small-size "Catch-all" icon on its right-hand side, so all it will take to activate this feature will be to click that icon. In the same fashion you’ll be able to disable the feature, in case you don’t need it any longer. Our system will inform you if you’re trying to activate a 2nd catch-all mailbox for a certain domain or if there’s active email forwarding, but it’ll never disable or modify any feature automatically and without your permission.
