A catch-all functionality that is enabled for a given mailbox will allow you to receive emails that are sent to email addresses that do not actually exist. In other words, if you disable an email address and somebody still sends an email to it, or to any misspelled email address under the same domain, you’ll receive the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this feature implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be essential if you are running some company, for instance. Since you may begin receiving unsolicited messages, you can use the catch-all functionality with anti-spam filtering software so as to get only authentic emails in your inbox. Just one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Hosting
If you host a domain on our cloud web hosting platform and you’ve got a hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section includes quite a few functions, but it is exceptionally user-friendly, so setting up a catch-all mailbox requires only a click of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have created will be enumerated in this section alphabetically and you’ll just need to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the respective email address. Our system will warn you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain name or if the one that you would like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either turn off the latter feature or pick some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as simple and takes yet another mouse click on the exact same button.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
A catch-all address can be created with a couple of clicks of the mouse if you have a semi-dedicated server with our company. The semi-dedicated account will be managed through our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you will be able to create email addresses under any domain name hosted here. To enable the catch-all feature for a mailbox, you will need to click the symbol with the exact same name, which will be on the right-hand side of each mailbox. Deactivating this option can be done in the same manner and will not require more than a click either. In case the catch-all functionality has already been enabled for a particular domain, you will receive a warning text message. The same goes if the mailbox that you would like to be a catch-all one has email forwarding activated, as our system will never change or deactivate any feature automatically.
