Catch-all Emails

What is a catch-all e-mail account? How does it function? How could you set up this type of account?

A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the email messages sent to nonexistent addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone miswrites it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Only one single mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other side has an obsolete email address or has made a typographical error. The downside of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of junk email messages, but this problem can be fixed using anti-spam filtering software. It’s also essential to bear in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot forward incoming messages to a third-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting

If you have a shared web hosting with us and you would like to activate the catch-all feature for a certain e-mailbox that you’ve got in your web hosting account, it’ll take literally only a single mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available next to each and every email address that you have created under any domain registered in the account. You can select one single email address per domain by clicking on the corresponding button. This will activate the feature right away, so all emails sent to miswritten email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning notice and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature unless you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply choose a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
