A catch-all mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to invalid email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone misspells it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Just one single mailbox per domain can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an out-of-date address or has made a spelling mistake. The drawback of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of unsolicited emails, but this problem can be fixed using an anti-spam filtering solution. It is also vital to remember that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot redirect inbound email messages to a 3rd-party email address.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
In case you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain name. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section includes quite a few functions, but it is remarkably easy to use, so configuring a catch-all mailbox requires just one single mouse click. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be displayed in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll just have to click on the "Catch-all" button pertaining to the given email address. Our system will inform you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain name or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either disable the latter feature or select some other mailbox. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as easy and requires yet another click on the same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The custom Hepsia Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering will allow you to set up a catch-all e-mailbox without effort even in case you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All you have to do to achieve that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be on the right side of each email address that you have set up with your domains in the hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. As you can have just one mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will warn you if you’ve already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you would like to use has email forwarding enabled. In case you decide that you don’t want this feature any longer, you can deactivate it by clicking again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager section will also allow you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
