A catch-all functionality that is enabled for a certain e-mailbox will permit you to receive emails that are sent to addresses that do not really exist. To state it differently, if you deactivate an email address and someone still sends an email to it, or to any misspelled address under the very same domain name, you’ll get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be vital if you run a company, for example. Since you may start receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can use the catch-all option with anti-spam filtering software in order to get only legitimate email messages in your inbox. Just one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Website Hosting
In case you have a shared website hosting plan with our company and you’d like to enable the catch-all functionality for a specific mailbox that you’ve got in the hosting account, it will take literally just a single mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel to do that. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each email address that you have created under any domain name registered in your account. You can pick one address per domain by clicking on the corresponding button. This will activate the feature momentarily, so all email messages sent to mistyped addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button once again will turn off the catch-all feature. If you have enabled email forwarding, our system will show a cautionary notice and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature until you disable the forwarding or you can simply select another mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to configure a catch-all address with no more than a click if you’ve got a semi-dedicated plan with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the email addresses that you create using any domain hosted in your account will be shown in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this functionality will be to click on that icon. In the very same fashion you’ll be able to deactivate the feature, in case you do not need it any longer. Our system will warn you if you are trying to enable a second catch-all address for a given domain name or if there’s active email forwarding, but it’ll never modify or deactivate anything automatically and without your approval.
