A catch-all email mailbox receives messages sent to inactive email addresses under the very same domain name. For example, an email message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been activated for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from friends or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. This is due to the fact that at a certain moment you may begin receiving spam email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be redirected to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host a domain name on our cloud hosting platform and you have a shared website hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain name. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section includes quite a few functions, but it’s remarkably intuitive, so creating a catch-all mailbox requires only a single mouse click. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you will simply have to click the "Catch-all" button for the particular email address. Our system will warn you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain or if the one that you’d like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either deactivate the latter feature or select some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and takes one more click on the same button.
