A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to invalid email addresses under the exact same domain. 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 activated for the latter. Thus, you can receive emails from acquaintances or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one single 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 some point you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be redirected to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section offers quite a few features, but it is unbelievably easy to work with, so setting up a catch-all mailbox takes only one mouse click. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be shown in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll simply have to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the particular email address. Our system will alert you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or select some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and takes one more click on the very same button.
