A catch-all email mailbox is one that gathers all the emails sent to inactive email addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and in this way you will never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date address or has made a spelling error. The drawback of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of unsolicited bulk email messages, but this issue can be solved by using anti-spam protection software. It’s also vital to know that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot redirect inbound emails to a third-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Website Hosting

Creating a catch-all mailbox will be pretty easy in case you have a cloud website hosting plan with our company. You can activate this option through our powerful, yet simple-to-work-with Email Manager tool, which is an indivisible part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage the account itself. You’ll find all the email addresses that you’ve created shown alphabetically and next to each of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously reveal to you whether a specific mailbox stores all the emails for a given domain name or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature whenever you like. If there’s activated email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you will get a warning from our system. The latter won’t replace/deactivate anything automatically or without your approval.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The catch-all functionality can be activated without any effort in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company. All the email addresses that you have created using the domains hosted in the semi-dedicated server account will be displayed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll notice a small-size symbol handily situated directly next to each one. With only a click of the mouse, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your preference on the condition that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with this option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on a mailbox and activate the feature through the menu that will pop up. In case any of the requirements for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not satisfied, our system will let you know, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
