A catch-all feature that is activated for a certain e-mailbox will allow you to receive emails that are sent to email addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise put, if you delete an email address and somebody still sends an email message to it, or to any misspelled email address under the very same domain name, you will get the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be essential if you run a business, for instance. Since you may begin receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can combine the catch-all functionality with anti-spam filtering software in order to get only authentic emails in your inbox. Only 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 Cloud Hosting
You’ll be able to configure a catch-all mailbox with ease if you’ve got a cloud hosting plan with our company. The Email Manager tool in our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel is feature-laden, yet incredibly user-friendly, and it will enable you to activate various features, including the catch-all one, with just a few clicks. All the email addresses that you’ve set up will be displayed in alphabetical order in this section and next to each of them you’ll see a mini "Catch-all" icon. Clicking on it once will activate this feature, clicking on it once more will disable it. As you can have only one such mailbox per domain, our system will inform you if you already have a different one with this option enabled or if you have activated email forwarding.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
The catch-all functionality can be enabled without any difficulty in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with us. All the email addresses that you have created using the domains hosted in the semi-dedicated server account will be listed in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and you’ll notice a mini logo handily situated right next to each of them. With just one single mouse click, you can activate or deactivate the catch-all option for any mailbox of your choosing on the condition that there isn't another mailbox under the same domain name with the option already activated and there isn't activated email forwarding. Instead, you can right-click on an email address and enable the feature using the menu that will pop up. If any of the requirements for setting up a catch-all mailbox is not matched, our system will notify you, but will not replace or deactivate anything automatically.
