A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to invalid addresses under the same domain name. For example, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get emails from buddies or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an old 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 enabled for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam emails 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 Shared Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel comes with quite a few features, but it is astonishingly simple to work with, so setting up a catch-all mailbox requires just one single click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have set up will be shown in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll simply need to click on the "Catch-all" button pertaining to the particular email address. Our system will warn you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either turn off the latter feature or choose a different mailbox. Disabling the catch-all option is just as easy and takes yet another mouse click on the exact same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The catch-all feature can be activated without difficulty in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with us. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domains hosted in the semi-dedicated server account will be listed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will find a tiny button conveniently located right next to each one. With only one click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choosing provided that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain with the option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on a mailbox and enable the feature using the context menu that will come into view. If any of the requirements for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not answered, our system will warn you, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
