A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to invalid email addresses under the exact same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case 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get messages from pals or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just one mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain moment you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be sent to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
Configuring a catch-all mailbox will be stunningly easy in case you have a Linux shared hosting package with us. You can enable the feature through our powerful, albeit easy-to-use Email Manager tool, which is an essential part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage the hosting account itself. You’ll see all the email addresses that you’ve set up shown in alphabetical order and to the right of each one of them there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will quickly notify you whether a particular mailbox receives all the email messages associated with a given domain or not. With one single click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this feature at any moment. In case there is enabled email forwarding or in case another mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a particular domain name, you’ll receive an alert from our system. The latter will not replace/deactivate anything automatically and without your approval.
