A catch-all feature that is enabled for a given email mailbox will allow you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not really exist. Otherwise put, if you remove an email address and someone still sends a message to it, or to any misspelled email address under the same domain name, you’ll get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality means that you won’t miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be essential in case you are running a company, for example. Since you may begin receiving junk emails, you can combine the catch-all functionality with email filters in order to get only legitimate email messages in your inbox. Only one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for a catch-all mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting

Configuring a catch-all mailbox will be surprisingly easy if you’ve got a Linux shared web hosting package with our company. You can activate the feature through our advanced, albeit simple-to-work-with Email Manager, which is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage your account. You will see all the mailboxes that you’ve set up enumerated in alphabetical order and to the right of each one of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately let you know if a specific mailbox stores all the messages associated with a certain domain name or not. With one mouse click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature at any time. In case there’s enabled email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you will receive a notification from our system. The latter will not disable/replace anything automatically and without your approval.
