A catch-all functionality that is activated for a particular mailbox will allow you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not actually exist. To put it differently, if you disable an email address and somebody still sends an email message to it, or to any miswritten address under the same domain name, you’ll get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this feature means that you won’t miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be crucial if you are running some business, for example. Since you may start receiving spam messages, you can use the catch-all option with email filters in order to receive only legitimate email messages in your inbox. Only one single mailbox per domain name 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 truly easy in case you’ve got a shared web hosting plan with our company. You can enable the feature through our advanced, albeit simple-to-work-with Email Manager tool, which is an indivisible part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll administer the web hosting account itself. You’ll see all the mailboxes that you’ve created displayed alphabetically and next to each one there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately tell you if a specific mailbox receives all the messages for a given domain or not. With one single click on the icon you can enable or disable the feature at any moment. If there’s enabled email forwarding or in case a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a particular domain, you will get an alert from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically or without your consent.
