A catch-all e-mailbox is one that collects all the emails sent to invalid email addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an outdated email address or has made a spelling mistake. The negative aspect of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving plenty of junk email messages, but this problem can be fixed using an anti-spam filtering solution. It is also crucial to know that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound messages to a 3rd-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
You will be able to configure a catch-all email mailbox with ease in case you’ve got a cloud hosting account with our company. The Email Manager in our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is fully featured, yet surprisingly user-friendly, and it will allow you to enable various features, including the catch-all one, with just a couple of mouse clicks. All the mailboxes that you’ve set up will be listed in alphabetical order in this section and on the right side of each one of them you will find a small "Catch-all" logo. Clicking on it once will enable this option, clicking on it once more will deactivate it. As you can have just one such mailbox per domain name, our system will notify you if you already have another one with this feature enabled or if you’ve got enabled email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
A catch-all address can be configured with several mouse clicks in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server with our company. The hosting account will be managed via our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll be able to set up email addresses using any domain hosted there. To enable the catch-all functionality for a specific mailbox, you will need to click on the logo with the same name, which will be on the right side of each email address. Deactivating the feature can be accomplished in the same manner and will not require more than a click either. In case the catch-all option has already been enabled for a specific domain name, you will receive a notification. The same goes if the mailbox that you wish to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never disable or modify any feature automatically.
