A catch-all email mailbox is one that collects all the messages sent to inactive email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody mistypes it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Just one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an outdated email address or has made a typo. The disadvantage of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of spam messages, but this issue can be resolved using anti-spam protection software. It is also vital to keep in mind that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all functionality cannot forward incoming emails to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting

Creating a catch-all email mailbox will be pretty easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud web hosting with our company. You can enable this option through our powerful, yet user-friendly Email Manager, which is integrated into the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer the shared hosting account itself. You’ll find all the email addresses that you have set up shown alphabetically and on the right side of each of them there will be a small-size "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly tell you if a specific mailbox stores all the emails for a certain domain or not. With one click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature whenever you like. If there is activated email forwarding or in case a different mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a certain domain name, you will get a warning notification from our system. The latter won’t deactivate/replace anything automatically and without your consent.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will permit you to configure a catch-all email mailbox effortlessly even if you do not have much email/web hosting experience. All it takes to do that is to click on the catch-all icon, which will be on the right side of each email address that you’ve created using your domains in the Email Manager section of the Control Panel. Since you can have only one single mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will warn you if you have already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you would like to use has email forwarding activated. In case you reach the decision that you don’t need the feature any longer, you can remove it by clicking again on the same icon. The Email Manager will also permit you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
