A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to inactive email addresses under the very same domain name. For example, an email sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from mates or clients 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. Just one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain point you may start receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be redirected to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
Configuring a catch-all email mailbox will be really easy in case you’ve got a shared plan with our company. You can enable the feature through our advanced, yet easy-to-use Email Manager, which is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will administer your shared hosting account. You’ll find all the email addresses that you have created displayed in alphabetical order and on the right side of each one of them there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately show you if a specific mailbox receives all the messages pertaining to a given domain name or not. With a single click on the icon you can activate or deactivate the feature whenever you want. In case there’s enabled email forwarding or if some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a given domain, you’ll receive a warning note from our system. The latter won’t replace/disable anything automatically and without your consent.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to configure a catch-all email address with no more than one click in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated hosting plan with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you create using any domain hosted in your account will be enumerated 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 the feature will be to click on that icon. In the exact same fashion you’ll be able to turn off the feature, in case you don’t need it anymore. Our system will inform you in case you are attempting to enable a second catch-all email address for a particular domain or if there’s enabled email forwarding, but it’ll never alter or disable anything automatically and without your approval.
