A catch-all email mailbox receives messages sent to nonexistent addresses under the very same domain name. For instance, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive messages from friends or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain point you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
In case you’ve got a cloud hosting with our company and you want to enable the catch-all feature for a certain email mailbox that you’ve got in your hosting account, it will take literally just a click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each email address that you have set up under any domain name registered in your account. You can pick one email address per domain by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature momentarily, so all messages sent to misspelled addresses will be received there. Clicking on the button again will turn off the catch-all feature. If you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will display a cautionary notification and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature till you remove the forwarding or you can simply choose some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all feature can be activated without effort in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. All the email addresses that you have set up with the domain names hosted in your account will be enumerated in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll find a tiny icon handily situated right next to each one. With only a single click of the mouse, 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 this option already activated and there isn't activated email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on an email address and enable this option using the menu that will pop up. In case any of the preconditions for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not answered, our system will warn you, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
