A catch-all e-mailbox is one that collects all the email messages sent to nonexistent addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody misspells it and sends a message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature activated and in this way you’ll never miss messages because the other party has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling error. The disadvantage of setting up a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving plenty of junk email messages, but this issue can be fixed using anti-spam filtering software. It is also vital to bear in mind that a mailbox with an active catch-all functionality cannot redirect inbound emails to a 3rd-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

Setting up a catch-all email mailbox will be stunningly easy if you’ve got a shared hosting with our company. You can activate this option through our advanced, albeit simple-to-use Email Manager tool, which is an essential part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll administer your shared web hosting account. You’ll see all the email addresses that you’ve created listed in alphabetical order and on the right-hand side of each one of them there will be a small-size "Catch-all" icon, which will quickly let you know if a specific mailbox gets all the email messages pertaining to a certain domain name or not. With one click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this option whenever you wish. In case there is active email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a certain domain, you’ll receive a warning note from our system. The latter will not deactivate/replace anything automatically or without your approval.
