A catch-all functionality that is enabled for a particular e-mailbox will allow you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise said, if you delete an email address and somebody still sends an email message to it, or to any miswritten address under the very same domain name, you will receive the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality means that you won’t miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be vital in case you run some business, for instance. Since you may start receiving spam, you can use the catch-all feature with anti-spam filters in order to receive only authentic emails in your inbox. Just one single 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 Cloud Hosting

If you’ve got a Linux cloud hosting plan with our company and you would like to activate the catch-all feature for a particular email mailbox that you’ve got in the web hosting account, it will take literally only a mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to achieve this. A catch-all button is available on the right-hand side of each and every email address that you have created under any domain hosted in the account. You can choose one email address per domain by clicking the respective button. This will activate the feature right away, so all emails sent to mistyped addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking on the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you have active email forwarding, our system will show a warning notification and you will not be able to enable the catch-all feature until you remove the forwarding or you can simply select a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
