A catch-all e-mailbox is one that captures all the email messages sent to nonexistent addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone mistypes it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an obsolete email address or has made a spelling error. The downside of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of spam email messages, but this problem can be solved by using anti-spam filtering software. It is also crucial to bear in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot forward inbound messages to a 3rd-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting

Setting up a catch-all mailbox will be truly easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud hosting with us. You can enable this feature through our advanced, albeit user-friendly Email Manager tool, which is built into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your web hosting account. You will find all the email addresses that you have created shown in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side of each one of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously show you if a certain mailbox stores all the email messages for a certain domain or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature whenever you wish. If there is active email forwarding or in case another mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a given domain, you will receive a warning message from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically or without your approval.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The catch-all option can be activated with ease if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us. All the email addresses that you have created with the domains hosted in your account will be shown in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will see a mini icon conveniently situated directly next to each one of them. With only one mouse click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your liking provided that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with this option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on an email address and activate this feature using the contextual menu that will come into view. If any of the preconditions for setting up a catch-all mailbox is not fulfilled, our system will warn you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
