A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to invalid email addresses under the same domain. For instance, an email sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive emails from colleagues or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an old one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just one mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at a certain point you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be re-sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting
If you have a shared web hosting with our company and you would like to activate the catch-all feature for a given e-mailbox that you’ve got in your account, it will take literally only one single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each and every email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in your account. You can choose one single address per domain by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature immediately, so all email messages sent to miswritten email addresses will be received there. Clicking on the button once more will turn off the catch-all feature. If you have activated email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary notification and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature until you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply choose a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
A catch-all address can be configured with several clicks of the mouse in case you have a semi-dedicated server with us. The semi-dedicated account will be managed via our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to create email addresses using any domain name hosted here. To enable the catch-all feature for a certain mailbox, you will have to click on the button with the exact same name, which will be to the right of each mailbox. Disabling the feature can be done in the very same way and will not take more than one click either. If the catch-all feature has already been enabled for a specific domain, you’ll get a warning notice. The same is valid if the mailbox that you wish to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never deactivate or change anything automatically.
