A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to non-existent email addresses under the exact same domain. For example, an email message sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from acquaintances or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Just one single 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 some point you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be re-sent to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Website Hosting

Configuring a catch-all mailbox will be rather easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud website hosting with our company. You can activate this option through our advanced, albeit easy-to-work-with Email Manager tool, which is an indivisible part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll manage the shared web hosting account itself. You will find all the email addresses that you’ve set up shown alphabetically and on the right side of each one of them there will be a small-size "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately let you know if a specific mailbox receives all the email messages for a given domain name or not. With one single click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature at any moment. In case there is enabled email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a particular domain, you will receive a warning text message from our system. The latter will not disable/replace anything automatically or without your consent.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The catch-all functionality can be activated without any effort if you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. All the email addresses that you have created using the domain names hosted in your account will be enumerated in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and you’ll see a mini sign handily situated right next to each one. With only one single click, you can enable or disable the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choosing as long as there isn't another mailbox under that same domain name with this option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on an email address and enable this option through the menu that will pop up. If any of the preconditions for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not matched, our system will let you know, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
