A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to inactive addresses under the very same domain. For instance, a message sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can receive email messages from friends or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Just one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting
Creating a catch-all email mailbox will be amazingly easy in case you have a shared web hosting with our company. You can activate the feature through our advanced, albeit simple-to-work-with Email Manager tool, which is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will manage the web hosting account itself. You’ll find all the mailboxes that you’ve set up enumerated in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side of each one of them there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately show you if a certain mailbox receives all the messages pertaining to a given domain or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable this option whenever you wish. In case there is enabled email forwarding or if a different mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a specific domain, you will get a warning from our system. The latter will not replace/deactivate anything automatically or without your permission.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all functionality can be activated without any difficulty in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with us. All the email addresses that you have set up with the domain names hosted in the semi-dedicated server account will be listed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll notice a small-size icon conveniently situated directly next to each one of them. With only one click of the mouse, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your preference on the condition that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain with the option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on a mailbox and activate this option through the menu that will appear. If any of the preconditions for setting up a catch-all mailbox is not answered, our system will warn you, but will not deactivate or replace anything automatically.
