A catch-all email mailbox is one that gathers all the messages sent to nonexistent addresses. For example, 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 set up. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an outdated address or has made a spelling error. The disadvantage of configuring a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of unsolicited bulk messages, but this issue can be resolved using anti-spam protection software. It’s also vital to know that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all feature 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 quite easy in case you have a Linux cloud website hosting with our company. You can activate the feature through our powerful, albeit easy-to-use Email Manager tool, which is included in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll manage the account itself. You will see all the email addresses that you have created shown alphabetically and on the right-hand side of each one there will be a small-size "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously inform you if a specific mailbox stores all the email messages for a given domain name or not. With a single mouse click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this option at any time. In case there’s active email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you will get a warning note from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically or without your permission.
