A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the emails sent to non-existent addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody misspells it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Only one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you will never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date email address or has made a typographical error. The downside of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of spam email messages, but this issue can be rectified by using an anti-spam protection solution. It is also important to keep in mind that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all functionality cannot forward incoming emails to a 3rd-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Hosting
If you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel includes quite a lot of functions, but it’s surprisingly easy to work with, so setting up a catch-all mailbox takes just a single click. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be enumerated in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll simply need to click the "Catch-all" button for the respective address. Our system will inform you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or choose another mailbox. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as easy and requires one more click on the exact same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The catch-all functionality can be activated without any effort if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with us. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domain names hosted in your semi-dedicated server account will be shown in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll see a tiny sign handily located right next to each one of them. With just a click, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choice provided that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain name 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 through the context menu that will appear. In case any of the preconditions for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not answered, our system will let you know, but will not deactivate or replace anything automatically.
