A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the messages sent to non-existent addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody misspells it and sends an email message 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mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other side has an outdated address or has made a spelling mistake. The drawback of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of junk emails, but this issue can be resolved using anti-spam filtering software. It is also essential to keep in mind that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound email messages to a 3rd-party address.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting
If you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you have a cloud web hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any email mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section includes quite a lot of features, but it’s astonishingly user-friendly, so setting up a catch-all mailbox takes just a click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have created will be displayed in this section alphabetically and you will just have to click the "Catch-all" button for the respective address. Our system will warn you if there is already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain name or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either disable the latter feature or choose some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as easy and takes yet another click on the very same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all email address can be configured with a couple of clicks of the mouse if you have a semi-dedicated hosting package with us. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be administered via our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to create mailboxes with any domain hosted here. To enable the catch-all functionality for a mailbox, you’ll need to click on the button with the exact same name, which will be to the right of each email address. Deactivating this option can be done in the very same way and will not require more than one click either. In case the catch-all option has already been activated for a specific domain name, you will receive a warning alert. The same goes if the mailbox that you’d like to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never disable or change any feature automatically.
