A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to inactive addresses under the very same domain name. For example, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from colleagues or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at some point you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be redirected to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
In case you have a website hosting plan with our company and you’d like to enable the catch-all option for a particular e-mailbox that you’ve got in the account, it’ll take literally just a single click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to achieve this. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in your account. You can choose one email address per domain name by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature immediately, so all messages sent to mistyped addresses will be received there. Clicking the button again will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have activated email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary message and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature till you disable the forwarding or you can simply pick a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all feature can be activated without effort if you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. All the email addresses that you’ve set up with the domains hosted in the account will be displayed in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and you will notice a tiny sign handily located right next to each of them. With only one click of the mouse, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your liking on the condition that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain with the option already activated and there isn't activated email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on an email address and activate this feature using the context menu that will pop up. In case any of the prerequisites for creating a catch-all mailbox is not satisfied, our system will warn you, but will not disable or replace anything automatically.
