A catch-all mailbox is one that gathers all the emails sent to inactive addresses. For example, if your address is info@domain.com, but somebody miswrites it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have configured. Only one single mailbox per domain name can have this feature activated and in this way you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date address or has made a typo. The drawback of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may start receiving lots of unsolicited email messages, but this problem can be fixed using anti-spam protection software. It’s also crucial to bear in mind that a mailbox with an activated catch-all functionality cannot redirect incoming messages to a third-party mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Website Hosting
Setting up a catch-all e-mailbox will be really easy if you have a cloud website hosting plan with our company. You can activate this option through our powerful, yet user-friendly Email Manager tool, which is built into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you’ll manage your hosting account. You’ll find all the email addresses that you have set up displayed in alphabetical order and on the right side of each one there will be a small-size "Catch-all" icon, which will quickly inform you if a certain mailbox stores all the emails for a given domain or not. With a single click on the icon you can enable or disable this option at any time. If there’s active email forwarding or if a different mailbox has already been set up as a catch-all one for a specific domain name, you will receive a notification from our system. The latter won’t deactivate/replace anything automatically and without your permission.
