A catch-all e-mailbox is one that captures all the emails sent to nonexistent addresses. For example, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have set up. Just one mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an out-of-date email address or has made a typographical error. The drawback of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of unsolicited messages, but this issue can be resolved using an anti-spam filtering solution. It’s also vital to know that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot redirect incoming emails to a 3rd-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting

In case you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a cloud hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any email mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section offers quite a few features, but it is very simple to work with, so configuring a catch-all mailbox requires just one click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have set up will be listed in this section alphabetically and you will simply need to click on the "Catch-all" button for the respective address. Our system will inform you if there is already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either disable the latter feature or choose a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as easy and takes yet another mouse click on the very same button.
