A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the email messages sent to invalid email addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but someone misspells it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Just one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature enabled and in this way you will never miss messages because the other side has an obsolete address or has made a mistake. The drawback of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving a lot of junk messages, but this issue can be fixed using anti-spam filtering software. It is also essential to know that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound messages to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host a domain on our cloud web hosting platform and you have a shared website hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any email mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a lot of functions, but it’s exceptionally user-friendly, so creating a catch-all mailbox takes just a single click. All the email addresses that you have created will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll only have to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the specific 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 would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or choose a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and requires yet another mouse click on the same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel that comes with each semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will allow you to set up a catch-all e-mailbox with ease even if you don’t have much email/web hosting experience. All you have to do to accomplish that is click the catch-all icon, which will be on the right side of each email address that you have created with your domain names in the Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel. As you can have only one mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will let you know if you have already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you wish to use has email forwarding enabled. If you decide that you do not want the feature anymore, you can deactivate it by clicking again on the same icon. The Email Manager will also allow you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
