A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to nonexistent email addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone 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. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an out-of-date address or has made a typographical error. The drawback of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of spam messages, but this problem can be fixed by using an anti-spam protection solution. It’s also essential to keep in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot forward inbound emails to a third-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting

Creating a catch-all email mailbox will be remarkably easy if you’ve got a shared website hosting service with our company. You can enable this feature through our advanced, albeit intuitive Email Manager, which is an essential part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will administer your web hosting account. You will see all the email addresses that you’ve created enumerated in alphabetical order and on the right side of each of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly inform you whether a particular mailbox receives all the email messages associated with a given domain or not. With one 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 configured as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you will receive a warning text message from our system. The latter won’t deactivate/replace anything automatically and without your consent.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

A catch-all email address can be configured with several clicks if you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated service with our company. The hosting account will be managed via our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to create email addresses under any domain name hosted here. To enable the catch-all feature for a certain mailbox, you will need to click on the sign with the same name, which will be to the right of each email address. Disabling the feature can be done in the very same way and will not take more than a click either. In case the catch-all feature has already been activated for a specific domain, you’ll get a warning notice. The same is valid if the mailbox that you want to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never alter or deactivate anything automatically.
