A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to non-existent addresses under the same domain. For instance, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from pals or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Just one mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at a certain point you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be re-sent to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
If you have a cloud service with us and you wish to enable the catch-all feature for a specific e-mailbox that you have in your web hosting account, it will take literally just one single mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to achieve this. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have created under any domain name registered in your account. You can choose one address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature right away, so all emails sent to mistyped addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will display a cautionary message and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature till you disable the forwarding or you can simply pick some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all feature can be enabled with ease if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domain names hosted in the semi-dedicated server account will be displayed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll notice a small-size icon handily located right next to each of them. With just one single mouse click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your preference provided that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with this option already enabled and there isn't activated email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on a mailbox and activate this feature using the contextual menu that will show up. If any of the prerequisites for creating a catch-all mailbox is not fulfilled, our system will inform you, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
