A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to inactive email addresses under the very same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from friends or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at some point you may start receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be redirected to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting

Creating a catch-all email mailbox will be astonishingly easy if you have a Linux website hosting package with our company. You can activate this feature through our advanced, albeit user-friendly Email Manager tool, which is included in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your shared hosting account. You’ll find all the email addresses that you have set up displayed alphabetically and on the right side of each one there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately inform you whether a certain mailbox receives all the messages for a given domain or not. With one single mouse click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature whenever you want. If there is activated email forwarding or if a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you’ll receive a warning from our system. The latter will not disable/replace anything automatically and without your permission.
