A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to nonexistent email addresses under the exact same domain name. For instance, an email sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from colleagues or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typo or to an old one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only 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 email messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be redirected to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

Creating a catch-all e-mailbox will be quite easy in case you’ve got a Linux shared package with us. You can activate this feature through our powerful, albeit simple-to-work-with Email Manager tool, which is an integral part of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you’ll manage your shared hosting account. You will find all the email addresses that you have set up listed in alphabetical order and to the right of each one of them there will be a mini "Catch-all" icon, which will instantaneously let you know whether a specific mailbox stores all the messages for a given domain name or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable this feature at any time. In case there is active email forwarding or if a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a specific domain name, you’ll receive a warning text message from our system. The latter will not replace/deactivate anything automatically and without your consent.
