A catch-all email mailbox receives messages sent to inactive addresses under the very same domain name. For example, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get email messages from colleagues or customers 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 deactivated. Just 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 a certain point you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be redirected to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a web hosting account, you will be able to enable the catch-all feature for any email mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section offers quite a few features, but it’s remarkably simple to work with, so configuring a catch-all mailbox requires only one single click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have set up will be displayed in this section in alphabetical order and you will only need to click the "Catch-all" button for the given address. Our system will inform you if there is already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain name or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or choose a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and requires one more mouse click on the exact same button.
