A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to non-existent addresses under the very same domain. For instance, an email sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can receive messages from partners or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. Only one mailbox per domain name 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 a certain point you may begin receiving spam emails 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 Hosting

If you host a domain name on our cloud web hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section offers quite a few features, but it is unbelievably simple to use, so configuring a catch-all mailbox requires just a click. All the email addresses that you have created will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll simply have to click on the "Catch-all" button pertaining to the particular address. Our system will inform you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or pick another mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as easy and requires yet another mouse click on the very same button.
