A catch-all feature that is enabled for a certain email mailbox will allow you to receive email messages that are sent to email addresses that do not really exist. To put it differently, if you remove an email address and someone still sends an email to it, or to any mistyped address under the same domain name, you’ll get 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 crucial if you run a company, for example. Since you may begin receiving junk messages, you can use the catch-all option 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 Shared Web Hosting
If you have a Linux shared web hosting package with our company and you wish to activate the catch-all feature for a specific mailbox that you have in your web hosting account, it’ll take literally just one click of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to accomplish 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 your account. You can choose one single email address per domain name by clicking the corresponding button. This will activate the feature momentarily, so all emails sent to misspelled addresses will be delivered there. Clicking the button once again will turn off the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got active email forwarding, our system will show a warning message and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature until you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply select another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
