A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to inactive email addresses under the same domain. For example, an email message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from friends or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an old 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 enabled for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at some point you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be re-sent to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting

In case you have a shared web hosting with us and you wish to activate the catch-all feature for a particular email mailbox that you have in the account, it’ll take literally only one mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to accomplish this. A catch-all button is available next to each and every email address that you have set up under any domain name registered in the account. You can pick one email address per domain name by clicking on the corresponding button. This will activate the feature immediately, so all emails sent to mistyped email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking the button once again will turn off the catch-all feature. In case you have enabled email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary notification and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature unless you delete the forwarding or you can simply choose another mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to configure a catch-all email address with no more than a click if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server with us and your emails are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the addresses that you set up using any domain hosted in the semi-dedicated hosting account will be displayed in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a tiny "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to enable the feature will be to click on that icon. In the exact same manner you’ll be able to disable the feature, in case you do not need it anymore. Our system will notify you in case you’re attempting to enable a second catch-all mailbox for a given domain name or in case there’s enabled email forwarding, but it’ll never change or disable any feature automatically or without your consent.
