A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to invalid addresses under the same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can receive email messages from pals or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain point you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be delivered to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting
In case you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting with our company and you want to activate the catch-all functionality for a particular mailbox that you’ve got in your web hosting account, it’ll take literally only one mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to achieve that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have set up under any domain name registered in the account. You can choose one single email address per domain by clicking the corresponding button. This will activate the feature straight away, so all messages sent to misspelled email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button once again will turn off the catch-all feature. If you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will show a warning message and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature till you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply select another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than a click if you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated server with our company and your email messages are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the email addresses that you set up with any domain hosted in the semi-dedicated hosting account will be listed in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this feature will be to click that icon. In the same way you’ll be able to turn off the feature, in case you do not need it any longer. Our system will warn you if you are trying to enable a 2nd catch-all email address for a certain domain name or if there is enabled email forwarding, but it’ll never modify or disable anything automatically or without your approval.
