A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to inactive email addresses under the very same domain. For instance, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated 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 old one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Just one mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This 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 Cloud Hosting
Configuring a catch-all email mailbox will be truly easy in case you’ve got a cloud hosting service with our company. You can activate this option through our advanced, albeit intuitive Email Manager, which is built into the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will manage the web hosting account itself. You’ll see all the email addresses that you have set up enumerated alphabetically and to the right of each one of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly show you if a specific mailbox stores all the messages pertaining to a certain domain or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature whenever you like. In case there is enabled email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a specific domain, you’ll get a warning text message from our system. The latter won’t deactivate/replace anything automatically and without your permission.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering will allow you to create a catch-all mailbox without effort even if you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All it takes to accomplish that is to click on the catch-all icon, which will be next to each email address that you have set up using your domains in the Email Manager section of the Control Panel. Since you can have only one single mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will notify you if you have already set up another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding enabled. If you decide that you don’t need this feature any longer, you can disable it by clicking again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager section will also permit you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
