A catch-all feature that is enabled for a particular email mailbox will allow you to receive emails that are sent to email addresses that do not really exist. Otherwise said, if you remove an email address and somebody still sends an email message to it, or to any misspelled email address under the same domain, you will get the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this feature means that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be vital if you run some business, for example. Since you may begin receiving spam emails, you can combine the catch-all functionality with email filters so as to get only real messages in your inbox. Only one mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for a catch-all mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host a domain name on our cloud platform and you’ve got a shared website hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all feature for any email mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a lot of features, but it’s extremely simple to use, so setting up a catch-all mailbox takes only a click. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you will simply need to click the "Catch-all" button for the particular address. Our system will warn you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either turn off the latter feature or pick some other mailbox. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as simple and takes yet another mouse click on the exact same button.
