A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the email messages sent to nonexistent email addresses. For example, 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 single mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an outdated email address or has made a mistake. The drawback of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of spam, but this issue can be fixed by using anti-spam filtering software. It is also important to know that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward inbound messages to a 3rd-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
You’ll be able to set up a catch-all email mailbox with ease in case you’ve got a website hosting account with our company. The Email Manager in our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is feature-loaded, yet stunningly simple to use, and it will enable you to activate different features, including the catch-all one, with no more than several mouse clicks. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be shown alphabetically in this section and on the right-hand side of each of them you’ll notice a small "Catch-all" logo. Clicking on it once will activate this option, clicking on it once more will disable it. As you can have only one such catch-all mailbox per domain name, our system will alert you if you already have another one with this option enabled or if you have activated email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all email address can be created with several clicks in case you have a semi-dedicated package with our company. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be managed through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to create email addresses with any domain name hosted here. To activate the catch-all feature for a certain mailbox, you will have to click on the icon with the exact same name, which will be on the right side of each mailbox. Disabling the feature can be done in the very same way and will not require more than a click either. If the catch-all feature has already been enabled for a given domain name, you’ll receive a warning. The same is valid if the mailbox that you’d like to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never deactivate or alter anything automatically.
