A catch-all mailbox is one that collects all the messages sent to inactive addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody mistypes it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Just one mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss emails because the other party has an obsolete address or has made a mistake. The downside of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of unsolicited emails, but this problem can be resolved using anti-spam filtering software. It is also essential to remember that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound emails to a third-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
You will be able to create a catch-all email mailbox easily if you have a website hosting plan with our company. The Email Manager in our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel is feature-rich, yet really easy to use, and it will permit you to enable different options, including the catch-all one, with no more than a few mouse clicks. All the email addresses that you have created will be listed alphabetically in this section and on the right side of each one of them you’ll notice a tiny "Catch-all" icon. Clicking it once will activate this feature, clicking on it once again will deactivate it. As you can have just one such mailbox per domain name, our system will inform you if you’ve already got another one with this feature enabled or if you have activated email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The catch-all feature can be activated without any effort in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domains hosted in the account will be enumerated in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will find a small-size sign conveniently located directly next to each of them. With only a single click of the mouse, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choosing as long as there isn't another mailbox under that same domain name with this option already enabled and there isn't activated email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on a mailbox and enable the feature through the menu that will appear. In case any of the requirements for creating a catch-all mailbox is not answered, our system will let you know, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
