A catch-all functionality that is activated for a given e-mailbox will allow you to receive emails that are sent to email addresses that do not actually exist. To state it differently, if you remove an email address and somebody still sends an email message to it, or to any misspelled email address under the exact same domain, you’ll receive the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality means that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be crucial if you run a company, for example. Since you may begin receiving junk emails, you can use the catch-all functionality with email filters so as to get only authentic emails in your inbox. Only one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be activated for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
In case you host a domain name on our cloud platform and you have a shared website hosting account, you’ll be able to enable the catch-all feature for any mailbox that you set up under the domain. The Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel includes quite a few functions, but it’s extremely simple to use, so creating a catch-all mailbox takes only a mouse click. All the email addresses that you have will be enumerated in this section alphabetically and you’ll simply have to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the particular email address. Our system will alert you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain or if the one that you’d like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding enabled, so you can either disable the latter feature or pick another mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as simple and requires yet another click on the very same button.
