A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to nonexistent addresses under the very same domain. For example, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from buddies or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only 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 point you may begin receiving spam 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 Website Hosting

Configuring a catch-all mailbox will be amazingly easy in case you’ve got a website hosting service with us. You can enable this option through our advanced, albeit user-friendly Email Manager tool, which is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer the hosting account itself. You’ll see all the mailboxes that you’ve set up displayed in alphabetical order and on the right side of each of them there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously show you if a certain mailbox receives all the email messages associated with a given domain name or not. With one single mouse click on the icon you can enable or disable this option at any time. If there’s active email forwarding or if another mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a specific domain, you will receive a notification from our system. The latter will not disable/replace anything automatically and without your consent.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than one click if you have a semi-dedicated service with us and your emails are handled by our cloud platform. All the mailboxes that you create using any domain name hosted in the account will be enumerated in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a small-size "Catch-all" icon on its right-hand side, so all it will take to activate this feature will be to click on that icon. In the exact same manner you will be able to remove the feature, if you don’t need it anymore. Our system will inform you if you are trying to enable a second catch-all email address for a certain domain name or if there is enabled email forwarding, but it will never change or disable any feature automatically and without your permission.
