A catch-all mailbox receives email messages sent to non-existent email addresses under the very same domain name. For example, an email message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. In this way, you can get messages from colleagues or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Just one mailbox per domain 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 some moment you may start receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting

Configuring a catch-all mailbox will be exceptionally easy in case you have a Linux shared web hosting with us. You can activate this feature through our advanced, yet easy-to-work-with Email Manager, which is built into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your hosting account. You will see all the email addresses that you have set up shown alphabetically and on the right-hand side of each one of them there will be a tiny "Catch-all" icon, which will instantly inform you whether a particular mailbox gets all the email messages for a certain domain or not. With one single click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature whenever you like. In case there’s active email forwarding or if some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a specific domain name, you’ll get a warning notice from our system. The latter won’t replace/disable anything automatically and without your permission.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

The in-house created Hepsia Control Panel that comes with every semi-dedicated server plan that we are offering will allow you to create a catch-all e-mailbox without any difficulty even in case you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All you have to do to achieve that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be next to each email address that you’ve created using your domains in the Control Panel’s Email Manager section. As you can have just one mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will let you know if you’ve already configured a different catch-all mailbox or if the one that you’d like to use has email forwarding activated. In case you decide that you don’t need this feature anymore, you can disable it by clicking again on the very same icon. The Email Manager section will also allow you to see your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
