A catch-all feature that is enabled for a certain mailbox will permit you to receive emails that are sent to email addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise stated, if you deactivate an email address and somebody still sends a message to it, or to any misspelled address under the same domain name, you will get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be vital if you run some company, for example. Since you may start receiving spam email messages, you can use the catch-all feature with anti-spam filtering software so as to receive only real email messages in your inbox. Only one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting
If you host a domain name on our cloud web hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel includes quite a few features, but it is remarkably simple to use, so configuring a catch-all mailbox requires just a mouse click. All the email addresses that you have will be shown in this section alphabetically and you’ll simply need to click on the "Catch-all" button pertaining to the respective address. Our system will inform you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or choose some other mailbox. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as simple and requires one more click on the exact same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to create a catch-all address with no more than a click in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated package with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you create with any domain name hosted in your account will be displayed in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a tiny "Catch-all" icon on its right-hand side, so all it will take to enable the feature will be to click that icon. In the exact same manner you’ll be able to turn off the feature, if you do not need it anymore. Our system will notify you if you’re attempting to enable a 2nd catch-all mailbox for a certain domain name or if there’s active email forwarding, but it’ll never deactivate or change anything automatically or without your permission.
