A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to nonexistent addresses under the very same domain. For example, an email message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive emails from friends or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be delivered to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Hosting
If you’ve got a Linux hosting with us and you wish to activate the catch-all feature for a given e-mailbox that you have in the web hosting account, it’ll take literally only one single click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to achieve that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each and every email address that you have set up under any domain registered in the account. You can select one single address per domain by clicking the corresponding button. This will enable the feature immediately, so all messages sent to miswritten email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button for a second time will disable the catch-all feature. If you’ve got enabled email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning message and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature until you remove the forwarding or you can simply pick a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The catch-all functionality can be activated without any difficulty in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you have created using the domain names hosted in the account will be enumerated in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and you will see a small sign handily located directly next to each one of them. With only a click of the mouse, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choice on the condition that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with this option already activated and there isn't active email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on a mailbox and enable this option using the contextual menu that will appear. In case any of the requirements for setting up a catch-all mailbox is not fulfilled, our system will let you know, but will not deactivate or replace anything automatically.
