A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to invalid email addresses under the same domain name. For instance, an email message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from acquaintances or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain point you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be redirected to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a shared web hosting plan with us and you would like to enable the catch-all functionality for a specific email mailbox that you’ve got in your account, it’ll take literally just one mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in your account. You can choose one address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature immediately, so all email messages sent to miswritten addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button again will disable the catch-all feature. In case you have activated email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary notification and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature unless you disable the forwarding or you can simply select a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The custom Hepsia Control Panel that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we’re offering will allow you to set up a catch-all mailbox with ease even if you don’t have much email/web hosting experience. All it takes to do that is to click the catch-all icon, which will be to the right of each email address that you have created with your domains in the Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel. Since you can have only one mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will inform you if you’ve already created a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you’d like to use has email forwarding activated. If you reach the decision that you don’t need this feature anymore, you can disable it by clicking again on the same icon. The Email Manager section will also permit you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
