A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to nonexistent addresses under the very same domain name. For example, 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. In this way, you can get emails from buddies or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted.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 activated for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at some moment you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be delivered to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
Setting up a catch-all mailbox will be unbelievably easy if you’ve got a Linux cloud hosting with us. You can activate this option through our advanced, yet easy-to-work-with Email Manager tool, which is included in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll manage the hosting account itself. You’ll see all the email addresses that you’ve created displayed alphabetically and next to each one of them there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will quickly notify you whether a certain mailbox gets all the email messages 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. If there is enabled email forwarding or in case another mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a given domain, you’ll get an alert from our system. The latter will not replace/disable anything automatically or without your consent.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
A catch-all address can be configured with a couple of clicks in case you have a semi-dedicated server with us. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be administered via our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to set up mailboxes under any domain registered there. To activate the catch-all option for a certain mailbox, you’ll need to click on the logo with the same name, which will be next to each email address. Disabling this functionality can be accomplished in the exact same manner and will not take more than a click either. If the catch-all functionality has already been activated for a certain domain, you’ll get a notification. The same goes if the mailbox that you would like to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never replace or deactivate any feature automatically.
