A catch-all functionality that is activated for a given e-mailbox will permit you to receive email messages that are sent to email addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise stated, if you deactivate an email address and somebody still sends an email to it, or to any misspelled email address under the exact same domain name, you will receive the message 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 run a company, for example. Since you may begin receiving junk emails, you can use the catch-all feature with email filters in order to get only authentic 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 Web Hosting

In case you’ve got a shared web hosting with us and you’d like to activate the catch-all functionality for a given mailbox that you have in the account, it’ll take literally just one single 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 and every email address that you have set up under any domain registered in the account. You can pick one single address per domain name by clicking on the corresponding button. This will enable the feature instantaneously, so all messages sent to misspelled email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking on the button again will disable the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary notice and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature until you remove the forwarding or you can simply select a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

A catch-all address can be set up with a couple of mouse clicks in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated hosting plan with our company. The semi-dedicated account will be administered through our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to create mailboxes under any domain name hosted there. To activate the catch-all option for a mailbox, you will need to click on the icon with the same name, which will be on the right side of each email address. Disabling the feature can be accomplished in the exact same way and will not take more than a click either. In case the catch-all functionality has already been activated for a specific domain, you’ll get a warning text message. The same is valid if the mailbox that you would like to be a catch-all one has email forwarding enabled, as our system will never change or deactivate any feature automatically.
