A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to nonexistent email addresses under the same domain. 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 receive emails from acquaintances or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be delivered to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
If you have a cloud service with us and you want to enable the catch-all functionality for a certain e-mailbox that you’ve got in the account, it will take literally just a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each email address that you have set up under any domain registered in your account. You can pick one address per domain by clicking the respective button. This will enable the feature right away, so all email messages sent to miswritten email addresses will be received there. Clicking on the button for a second time will turn off the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary notification and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you remove the forwarding or you can simply select some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The catch-all functionality can be activated without any difficulty if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domain names hosted in the semi-dedicated account will be enumerated in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will find a small sign conveniently situated directly next to each one of them. With just one single click, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your desire as long as there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with the option already activated and there isn't enabled email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on an email address and enable this option through the context menu that will appear. If any of the prerequisites for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not matched, our system will warn you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
