A catch-all e-mailbox is one that gathers all the emails sent to non-existent addresses. For example, if your 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. Only one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and in this way you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an outdated email address or has made a spelling error. The disadvantage of configuring a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of unsolicited email messages, but this issue can be resolved using anti-spam protection software. It is also crucial to keep in mind that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all functionality cannot redirect inbound emails to a 3rd-party email address.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Website Hosting

Setting up a catch-all e-mailbox will be unbelievably easy in case you’ve got a Linux cloud website hosting service with us. You can enable this feature through our powerful, albeit simple-to-use Email Manager, which is an integral part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will administer the shared web hosting account itself. You’ll see all the mailboxes that you have created shown alphabetically and on the right side of each one there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will quickly tell you if a specific mailbox gets all the email messages associated with a certain domain name or not. With one single click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this feature at any time. If there’s activated email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a particular domain name, you will get a notification from our system. The latter will not replace/disable anything automatically and without your approval.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering will allow you to create a catch-all mailbox without effort even in case you don’t have much web/email hosting experience. All you have to do to accomplish that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be to the right of each email address that you’ve created with your domain names in the Email Manager section of the Control Panel. As you can have just one mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will notify you if you have already set up another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding enabled. In case you decide that you do not need this feature any longer, you can remove it by clicking again on the same icon. The Email Manager will also permit you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
