A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to nonexistent addresses under the very same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from acquaintances or customers 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 deleted. Just one mailbox per domain name 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 some point you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be delivered to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you’ve got a cloud web hosting plan with our company and you wish to activate the catch-all option for a specific email mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it will take literally just a single mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to achieve that. A catch-all button is available next to each email address that you have set up under any domain hosted in the account. You can pick one email address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature instantly, so all email messages sent to misspelled email addresses will be received there. Clicking the button again will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got active email forwarding, our system will display a warning note and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you remove the forwarding or you can simply select some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
