A catch-all e-mailbox is one that collects all the messages sent to inactive addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but someone misspells it and sends an email to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Only one mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and thus you will never miss emails because the other side has an obsolete address or has made a typo. The negative aspect of creating a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of junk emails, but this issue can be rectified using anti-spam protection software. It’s also vital to remember that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot forward incoming emails to a 3rd-party address.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
If you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a cloud hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all feature for any mailbox that you set up under the domain name. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel offers quite a few functions, but it is incredibly easy to work with, so creating a catch-all mailbox takes just a mouse click. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be displayed in this section in alphabetical order and you’ll simply have to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the particular email address. Our system will notify you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or choose another mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as simple and takes one more click on the very same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is included with each and every semi-dedicated server package that we are offering will allow you to create a catch-all mailbox without any effort even if you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All you need to do to accomplish that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be to the right of each email address that you’ve created using your domain names in the hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section. As you can have just one mailbox with this feature per domain, our system will inform you if you have already created another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you want to use has email forwarding enabled. In case you decide that you do not need the feature anymore, you can disable it by clicking again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager will also allow you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
