Catch-all Emails

Uncover exactly what a catch-all e-mail account is, the way it operates and the way to create one.

A catch-all e-mailbox is one that captures all the emails sent to non-existent email addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody mistypes 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one mailbox per domain can have this feature enabled and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an outdated address or has made a typographical error. The negative aspect of using a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of spam email messages, but this problem can be fixed using anti-spam protection software. It’s also crucial to keep in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all feature cannot forward incoming email messages to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you host a domain name on our cloud platform and you’ve got a cloud web hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any mailbox that you create under the domain name. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section includes quite a lot of features, but it’s unbelievably simple to use, so creating a catch-all mailbox requires only one single click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have created will be displayed in this section in alphabetical order and you will simply need to click the "Catch-all" button associated with the respective email address. Our system will inform you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain name or if the one that you want to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or pick some other mailbox. Disabling the catch-all option is just as simple and takes yet another click on the same button.
