A catch-all functionality that is enabled for a particular e-mailbox will allow you to receive emails that are sent to email addresses that do not actually exist. To put it differently, if you remove an email address and somebody still sends a message to it, or to any mistyped email address under the exact same domain name, you’ll get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality means that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be vital if you are running some company, for instance. Since you may start receiving spam, you can use the catch-all feature with anti-spam filters so as to receive only legitimate messages in your inbox. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
In case you’ve got a Linux shared hosting package with us and you’d like to activate the catch-all feature for a certain mailbox that you have in your account, it’ll take literally only a mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do that. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each email address that you have set up under any domain name hosted in your account. You can choose one address per domain by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature instantly, so all messages sent to miswritten addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have enabled email forwarding, our system will display a warning notification and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you remove the forwarding or you can simply choose a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
