A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the emails sent to nonexistent email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone mistypes it and sends an email message 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per domain can have this feature enabled and in this way you will never miss emails because the other side has an outdated email address or has made a spelling mistake. The disadvantage of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of unsolicited bulk emails, but this problem can be rectified by using anti-spam protection software. It is also essential to remember that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward inbound email messages to a 3rd-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Website Hosting
If you have a Linux cloud website hosting with our company and you want to activate the catch-all functionality for a specific e-mailbox that you have in your hosting account, it’ll take literally just one click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each and every email address that you have set up under any domain name hosted in the account. You can choose one single address per domain by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature straight away, so all messages sent to mistyped email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button again will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will display a warning notification and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature till you disable the forwarding or you can simply choose a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server package that we are offering will allow you to configure a catch-all mailbox without any efforts even if you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All it takes to achieve that is to click on the catch-all icon, which will be next to each email address that you have created with your domains in the hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. As you can have just one single mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will let you know if you’ve already configured a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you want to use has email forwarding enabled. If you decide that you do not need this feature anymore, you can deactivate it by clicking once again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager will also allow you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
