A catch-all e-mailbox is one that collects all the messages sent to non-existent addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone misspells it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and in this way you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an obsolete email address or has made a mistake. The downside of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of spam emails, but this problem can be rectified using anti-spam filtering software. It is also crucial to keep in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound messages to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting
If you have a cloud web hosting with our company and you would like to enable the catch-all functionality for a particular email mailbox that you’ve got in your web hosting account, it’ll take literally only a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to achieve that. A catch-all button is available next to each and every email address that you have set up under any domain hosted in your account. You can choose one single email address per domain by clicking the respective button. This will activate the feature instantly, so all emails sent to mistyped email addresses will be received there. Clicking on the button for a second time will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you’ve got enabled email forwarding, our system will exhibit a warning notice and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you delete the forwarding or you can simply choose a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all address can be configured with a few mouse clicks if you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated package with us. The semi-dedicated account will be managed through our custom Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to create mailboxes using any domain registered there. To enable the catch-all feature for a particular mailbox, you will need to click the icon with the same name, which will be next to each mailbox. Disabling this feature can be achieved in the very same way and will not require more than one click either. In case the catch-all functionality has already been activated for a particular domain, you will receive a notification. The same is valid if the mailbox that you wish to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never edit or disable any feature automatically.
