A catch-all email mailbox receives email messages sent to inactive addresses under the very same domain. For instance, a message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can get messages from mates or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an old one, which they may still have, but you have already deleted. 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 due to the fact that at some point you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction means that the spam will not be received in a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

In case you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you’ve got a shared hosting account, you will be able to activate the catch-all feature for any mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a lot of functions, but it’s amazingly intuitive, so setting up a catch-all mailbox takes just one single mouse click. All the email addresses that you’ve got will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you will just have to click on the "Catch-all" button for the particular address. Our system will warn you if there is already another catch-all mailbox activated for that domain name or if the one that you’d like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either disable the latter feature or choose some other mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all feature is just as easy and requires yet another click on the very same button.
