A catch-all mailbox is one that gathers all the email messages sent to inactive email addresses. For instance, if your address is info@domain.com, but someone mistypes 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per domain can have this feature activated and in this way you will never miss messages because the other party has an out-of-date address or has made a typographical error. The drawback of configuring a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving lots of junk messages, but this problem can be fixed using an anti-spam protection solution. It is also essential to know that a mailbox with an enabled catch-all feature cannot redirect inbound messages to a 3rd-party address.

Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting

In case you host a domain on our cloud hosting platform and you have a cloud hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all feature for any mailbox that you create under the domain. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a few functions, but it is incredibly simple to use, so creating a catch-all mailbox takes just a single mouse click. All the email addresses that you have will be enumerated in this section alphabetically and you’ll just need to click on the "Catch-all" button for the respective email address. Our system will notify 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. Disabling the catch-all feature is just as simple and requires one more mouse click on the same button.
