A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the messages sent to non-existent addresses. For example, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites 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mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an outdated address or has made a spelling mistake. The negative aspect of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving plenty of junk messages, but this problem can be solved by using anti-spam protection software. It’s also important to bear in mind 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 Website Hosting

You’ll be able to create a catch-all email mailbox effortlessly if you’ve got a shared website hosting account with us. The Email Manager tool in our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is full-featured, yet extremely user-friendly, and it will allow you to activate different features, including the catch-all one, with no more than several clicks. All the mailboxes that you’ve set up will be enumerated in alphabetical order in this section and on the right side of each of them you’ll notice a small "Catch-all" button. Clicking on it once will activate this option, clicking it again will deactivate it. As you can have just one such catch-all mailbox per domain name, our system will notify you if you’ve already got a different mailbox with this option activated or if you have activated email forwarding.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to set up a catch-all address with no more than one click if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud platform. All the email addresses that you set up using any domain hosted in your semi-dedicated hosting account will be displayed in the Hepsia 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 option will be to click on that icon. In the exact same manner you’ll be able to deactivate the feature, in case you do not need it any longer. Our system will let you know in case you’re attempting to enable a second catch-all address for a specific domain name or in case there’s activated email forwarding, but it will never modify or disable anything automatically and without your consent.
