A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to nonexistent email addresses under the very same domain name. For example, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get email messages from buddies or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an old one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at some point you may begin receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
Configuring a catch-all e-mailbox will be incredibly easy in case you’ve got a Linux website hosting with us. You can enable this option through our advanced, albeit intuitive Email Manager tool, which is included in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will manage your shared hosting account. You’ll find all the email addresses that you’ve set up shown alphabetically and on the right-hand side of each of them there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly reveal to you whether a specific mailbox stores all the emails pertaining to a certain domain name or not. With one single click on the icon you can activate or deactivate the feature whenever you wish. In case there is activated email forwarding or if another mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain name, you’ll receive a notification from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically or without your consent.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all functionality can be activated without any difficulty in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with us. All the email addresses that you have set up with the domain names hosted in your account will be enumerated in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will see a small symbol conveniently located right next to each one of them. With just one single click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choice provided that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain with the option already activated and there isn't activated email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on a mailbox and enable the feature using the contextual menu that will come into view. If any of the prerequisites for creating a catch-all mailbox is not matched, our system will warn you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
