A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to non-existent email addresses under the same domain. For instance, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can get email messages from acquaintances or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling mistake or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just 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 a certain moment you may start receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be re-sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
In case you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you have a shared website hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with quite a lot of features, but it is surprisingly user-friendly, so creating a catch-all mailbox takes only a single click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have will be displayed in this section in alphabetical order and you will simply need to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the given address. Our system will warn you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain name or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or choose a different mailbox. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as easy and requires yet another click on the exact same button.
