A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to nonexistent email addresses under the exact same domain name. For instance, a message sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get emails from partners or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain moment you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
Configuring a catch-all e-mailbox will be incredibly easy if you have a shared hosting with our company. You can enable this option through our advanced, albeit intuitive Email Manager tool, which is an integral part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will manage your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all the email addresses that you’ve set up enumerated alphabetically and on the right side of each one of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately let you know if a particular mailbox receives all the emails pertaining to a given domain or not. With one single mouse click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this feature whenever you want. In case 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 name, you’ll receive an alert from our system. The latter won’t replace/disable anything automatically and without your approval.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than one click in case you have a Linux semi-dedicated hosting plan with our company and your email messages are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you create using any domain name hosted in your account will be listed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a small "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to enable this functionality will be to click that icon. In the exact same fashion you will be able to deactivate the feature, if you don’t need it any longer. Our system will let you know in case you are attempting to activate a second catch-all mailbox for a particular domain or if there is active email forwarding, but it will never deactivate or modify anything automatically or without your permission.
