A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to inactive addresses under the very same domain. For example, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can get emails from buddies or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam email 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 Website Hosting
If you have a Linux shared website hosting with us and you would like to activate the catch-all functionality for a particular mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it will take literally only one single click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have set up under any domain name hosted in the account. You can select one single email address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature straight away, so all messages sent to misspelled addresses will be delivered there. Clicking the button once again will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you have enabled email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary note and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature until you disable the forwarding or you can simply select some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The catch-all functionality can be activated with ease in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. All the email addresses that you’ve created using the domain names hosted in your semi-dedicated server account will be enumerated in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will notice a mini logo handily situated right next to each of them. With just a click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your preference as long as there isn't another mailbox under that same domain name with the option already enabled and there isn't enabled email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on an email address and activate the feature through the menu that will appear. If any of the preconditions for configuring a catch-all mailbox is not matched, our system will warn you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
