A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to nonexistent addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and in this way you’ll never miss emails because the other side has an obsolete address or has made a mistake. The drawback of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving plenty of spam, but this issue can be rectified by using anti-spam filtering software. It’s also crucial to keep in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot forward incoming email messages to a third-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a cloud web hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section offers quite a few features, but it’s surprisingly easy to work with, so creating a catch-all mailbox requires only a click. All the email addresses that you have will be enumerated in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll just need to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the concrete email address. Our system will inform you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you’d like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or pick some other mailbox. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as easy and requires yet another mouse click on the exact same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The catch-all functionality can be enabled easily in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domains hosted in your semi-dedicated server account will be enumerated in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you will see a tiny button handily situated right next to each one. With just a mouse click, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your liking as long as there isn't another mailbox under the same domain name with the option already enabled and there isn't activated email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on a mailbox and enable this option using the context menu that will surface. In case any of the requirements for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not matched, our system will let you know, but will not disable or replace anything automatically.
