A catch-all feature that is activated for a specific mailbox will allow you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise stated, if you disable an email address and someone still sends an email to it, or to any miswritten address under the exact same domain name, you’ll get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality implies that you will no longer miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be vital if you are running some business, for instance. Since you may begin receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can combine the catch-all option with email filters in order to get only real emails 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 Hosting
In case you’ve got a Linux shared plan with our company and you wish to activate the catch-all functionality for a particular e-mailbox that you’ve got in your hosting account, it will take literally only a click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to do that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have set up under any domain hosted in the account. You can select one single email address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will activate the feature momentarily, so all emails sent to misspelled email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button for a second time will turn off the catch-all feature. If you’ve got active email forwarding, our system will display a warning message and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature unless you delete the forwarding or you can simply pick a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than one click if you’ve got a semi-dedicated plan with our company and your email messages are handled by our cloud platform. All the addresses that you set up with any domain hosted in the account will be shown in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each of them will have a tiny "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate the feature will be to click on that icon. In the very same way you will be able to deactivate the feature, in case you no longer need it. Our system will inform you in case you are trying to enable a 2nd catch-all email address for a specific domain name or in case there is active email forwarding, but it will never disable or modify anything automatically or without your approval.
