A catch-all feature that is enabled for a specific email mailbox will permit you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not actually exist. In other words, if you remove an email address and somebody still sends a message to it, or to any mistyped email address under the very same domain, you will receive the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this feature implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be crucial if you are running a company, for instance. Since you may start receiving junk emails, you can combine the catch-all option with anti-spam filters in order to receive only legitimate emails in your inbox. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
If you’ve got a Linux cloud hosting with us and you would like to enable the catch-all functionality for a specific e-mailbox that you have in your hosting account, it’ll take literally just a mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to achieve this. A catch-all button is available next to each and every email address that you have created under any domain name registered in the account. You can choose one email address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature right away, so all email messages sent to miswritten addresses will be received there. Clicking the button again will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have activated email forwarding, our system will display a cautionary notification and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature unless you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply choose some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all option can be enabled effortlessly if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. All the email addresses that you have created using the domain names hosted in your account will be displayed in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll see a mini icon conveniently located right next to each of them. With just a click of the mouse, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your liking provided that there isn't another mailbox under that same domain with the option already enabled and there isn't active email forwarding. Alternatively, you can right-click on an email address and enable this option through the menu that will appear. In case any of the prerequisites for setting up a catch-all mailbox is not met, our system will notify you, but will not replace or disable anything automatically.
