Catch-all Emails

Learn about exactly what a catch-all e-mail account really is, the way it operates and how to create one.

A catch-all mailbox receives emails sent to nonexistent email addresses under the exact same domain name. For example, an email message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive email messages from colleagues or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a spelling error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already deactivated. Just one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at some moment you may start receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be delivered to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to configure a catch-all e-mailbox without difficulty if you have a shared hosting plan with us. The Email Manager tool in our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel is feature-laden, yet unbelievably user-friendly, and it will permit you to activate different features, including the catch-all one, with only a few clicks. All the mailboxes that you’ve created will be displayed in alphabetical order in this section and on the right-hand side of each of them you’ll find a tiny "Catch-all" icon. Clicking it once will enable this feature, clicking it twice will disable it. Since you can have just one such catch-all mailbox per domain, our system will inform you if you’ve already got a different mailbox with this feature enabled or if you have enabled email forwarding.

Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to configure a catch-all email address with no more than one click if you have a semi-dedicated plan with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the mailboxes that you create using any domain hosted in your account will be shown in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each of them will have a small-size "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this functionality will be to click on that icon. In the same manner you will be able to disable the feature, in case you no longer need it. Our system will let you know in case you are trying to enable a second catch-all email address for a specific domain or in case there is activated email forwarding, but it’ll never deactivate or modify anything automatically and without your permission.
