A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to inactive addresses under the exact same domain name. For example, an email sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from friends or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled.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 set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain moment you may start receiving spam messages 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 Hosting

If you’ve got a hosting plan with us and you would like to activate the catch-all functionality for a certain e-mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it’ll take literally just one single click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available next to each email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in your account. You can select one email address per domain name by clicking the respective button. This will activate the feature straight away, so all email messages sent to miswritten email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button for a second time will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary message and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you delete the forwarding or you can simply pick a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The custom-built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will permit you to create a catch-all e-mailbox without any difficulty even if you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All it takes to do that is to click the catch-all icon, which will be to the right of each email address that you’ve created with your domain names in the Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Since you can have only one single mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will let you know if you’ve already created a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding activated. In case you reach the decision that you don’t need the feature any longer, you can remove it by clicking once again on the same icon. The Email Manager will also permit you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
