A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to invalid addresses under the same domain. For example, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can get emails from colleagues or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
In case you’ve got a website hosting with us and you would like to enable the catch-all feature for a specific e-mailbox that you’ve got in your web hosting account, it will take literally only a click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to achieve that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have created under any domain name 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 miswritten email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button again will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have activated email forwarding, our system will display a warning message and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature unless you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply select a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all option can be enabled without any effort if you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve created with the domain names hosted in the account will be displayed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will see a tiny icon handily situated right next to each one of them. With just a mouse click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your preference provided that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain with the option already enabled and there isn't activated email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on a mailbox and activate the feature using the menu that will come into sight. If any of the requirements for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not met, our system will notify you, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
