A catch-all email mailbox receives emails sent to nonexistent addresses under the very same domain. For instance, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive emails from mates or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just 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 moment you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation means that the spam will not be delivered to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
In case you have a shared website hosting with us and you wish to enable the catch-all feature for a particular e-mailbox that you have in the account, it will take literally only a mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to do that. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each email address that you have created under any domain name hosted in the account. You can select one single address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature right away, so all email messages sent to mistyped addresses will be received there. Clicking on the button for a second time will disable the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got activated email forwarding, our system will show a warning message and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you disable the forwarding or you can simply pick some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
