A catch-all mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to invalid addresses. For instance, 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 mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an obsolete email address or has made a spelling mistake. The negative aspect of configuring a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving plenty of spam emails, but this issue can be resolved using anti-spam protection software. It is also crucial to keep in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot redirect inbound messages to a 3rd-party email address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting

In case you’ve got a shared website hosting with our company and you want to enable the catch-all option for a particular email mailbox that you’ve got in your web hosting account, it will take literally only one single mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish this. A catch-all button is available to the right of each and every email address that you have created under any domain hosted in the account. You can pick one email address per domain by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature instantaneously, so all messages sent to mistyped addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button once more will disable the catch-all feature. In case you have active email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary notification and you will not 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.
