A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to invalid addresses under the exact same domain. For example, an email message sent to the miswritten 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 email messages from partners or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at some point you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be delivered to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Hosting

In case you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you have a hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any email mailbox that you create under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel comes with quite a few functions, but it’s remarkably simple to use, so configuring a catch-all mailbox takes only one click. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be enumerated in this section in alphabetical order and you will simply need to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the particular email address. Our system will inform you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled 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 select a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and requires one more click on the exact same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to set up a catch-all email address with no more than one click in case you have a Linux semi-dedicated hosting with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you set up using any domain name hosted in your semi-dedicated hosting account will be displayed in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to enable the feature will be to click on that icon. In the exact same manner you’ll be able to deactivate the feature, if you no longer need it. Our system will warn you in case you are trying to activate a 2nd catch-all address for a given domain or if there is enabled email forwarding, but it’ll never alter or deactivate anything automatically or without your consent.
