A catch-all e-mailbox is one that captures all the email messages sent to non-existent addresses. For example, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody misspells it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Just one single mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you will never miss messages because the other party has an out-of-date address or has made a spelling mistake. The drawback of configuring a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of unsolicited messages, but this problem can be solved using an anti-spam filtering solution. It is also crucial to remember that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot forward inbound email messages to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Hosting

If you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you have a hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain name. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel comes with quite a few features, but it is astonishingly user-friendly, so setting up a catch-all mailbox requires only a click. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be listed in this section alphabetically and you’ll simply need to click on the "Catch-all" button for the concrete email address. Our system will inform you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain name or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either disable the latter feature or select a different mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and takes yet another mouse click on the very same button.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

A catch-all email address can be set up with several clicks of the mouse in case you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated server with our company. The semi-dedicated hosting account will be administered via our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to create email addresses using any domain registered here. To enable the catch-all feature for a certain mailbox, you will have to click the logo with the exact same name, which will be on the right-hand side of each email address. Deactivating this option can be accomplished in the very same way and will not require more than a click either. If the catch-all functionality has already been activated for a particular domain, you will receive a warning notification. The same is valid if the mailbox that you wish to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never change or deactivate any feature automatically.
