A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the email messages sent to non-existent addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Only one single mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an obsolete email address or has made a typo. The drawback of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of spam email messages, but this problem can be fixed by using anti-spam protection software. It is also vital to keep in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward incoming emails to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Web Hosting
You’ll be able to configure a catch-all e-mailbox without effort in case you have a web hosting account with us. The Email Manager tool in our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is full-featured, yet very user-friendly, and it will permit you to enable different features, including the catch-all one, with just several clicks. All the mailboxes that you have set up will be listed in alphabetical order in this section and on the right side of each of them you will see a small "Catch-all" logo. Clicking it once will enable the feature, clicking on it for a second time will disable it. As you can have just one such catch-all mailbox per domain, our system will warn you if you’ve already got another mailbox with this feature enabled or if you’ve got activated email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all email address can be set up with several mouse clicks if you have a Linux semi-dedicated hosting with our company. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be administered through our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to set up mailboxes under any domain registered here. To enable the catch-all option for a mailbox, you will have to click on the icon with the exact same name, which will be to the right of each email address. Deactivating this option can be achieved in the exact same manner and will not take more than one click either. If the catch-all functionality has already been enabled for a particular domain, you’ll get a notification. The same goes if the mailbox that you want to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never deactivate or change any feature automatically.
