A catch-all feature that is enabled for a specific email mailbox will permit you to receive email messages that are sent to email addresses that do not really exist. Otherwise said, if you delete an email address and somebody still sends a message to it, or to any mistyped email address under the very same domain name, you will receive the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality means that you will no longer miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be vital in case you run a company, for example. Since you may start receiving spam messages, you can combine the catch-all option with anti-spam filtering software in order to receive only real email messages in your inbox. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for a catch-all mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Hosting

Configuring a catch-all mailbox will be very easy in case you’ve got a hosting plan with us. You can activate this option through our powerful, yet easy-to-use Email Manager, which is built into the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you will manage the shared hosting account itself. You’ll find all the mailboxes that you’ve created displayed alphabetically and on the right side of each one of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously let you know whether a specific mailbox stores all the email messages associated with a certain domain name or not. With a single click on the icon you can activate or deactivate the feature whenever you like. If there’s active email forwarding or if a different mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a particular domain name, you will get an alert from our system. The latter won’t replace/disable anything automatically and without your consent.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

A catch-all address can be configured with several clicks of the mouse if you’ve got a Linux semi-dedicated plan with our company. The semi-dedicated account will be administered through our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to create email addresses with any domain registered here. To enable the catch-all option for a specific mailbox, you’ll have to click on the button with the same name, which will be next to each email address. Deactivating this functionality can be accomplished in the exact same manner and will not require more than a click either. If the catch-all functionality has already been enabled for a specific domain name, you will get a warning text message. The same goes if the mailbox that you want to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never alter or disable any feature automatically.
