A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to non-existent email addresses under the same domain name. For example, an email message sent to the misspelled [email protected] will go to [email protected] if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can get emails from acquaintances or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an old one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Just one mailbox per domain 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 start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Hosting
In case you’ve got a hosting package with our company and you’d like to activate the catch-all option for a particular e-mailbox that you have in your hosting account, it will take literally just a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each email address that you have created under any domain hosted in your account. You can pick one email address per domain name by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature momentarily, so all messages sent to misspelled addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button for a second time will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you have active email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary notice and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature till you remove the forwarding or you can simply select another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A catch-all address can be set up with a few clicks in case you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated hosting with us. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be administered through our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel and you will be able to set up email addresses with any domain registered there. To enable the catch-all feature for a certain mailbox, you will need to click the symbol with the same name, which will be next to each mailbox. Disabling the feature can be done in the very same manner and will not take more than one click either. In case the catch-all functionality has already been enabled for a certain domain, you’ll get a warning notification. The same is valid if the mailbox that you want to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never disable or replace any feature automatically.
