A catch-all functionality that is enabled for a specific email mailbox will permit you to receive emails that are sent to addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise stated, if you delete an email address and someone still sends an email message to it, or to any miswritten email address under the exact same domain, you will receive the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this feature implies that you will no longer miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be vital if you are running a business, for instance. Since you may start receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can combine the catch-all option with anti-spam filters so as to receive only legitimate messages in your inbox. Just one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
In case you have a Linux website hosting service with us and you wish to activate the catch-all option for a certain email mailbox that you’ve got in the account, it will take literally only one single mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available on the right side of each and every email address that you have set up under any domain name registered in your account. You can pick one address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature momentarily, so all messages sent to miswritten email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button once more will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you’ve got enabled email forwarding, our system will display a cautionary notice and you won’t be able to activate the catch-all feature until you delete the forwarding or you can simply pick some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The custom-built Hepsia Control Panel that comes with each semi-dedicated server plan that we offer will allow you to configure a catch-all mailbox without any difficulty even if you do not have much web/email hosting experience. All you need to do to achieve that is click on the catch-all icon, which will be next to each email address that you’ve set up with your domain names in the Email Manager section of the Control Panel. As you can have just one single mailbox with this feature per domain name, our system will let you know if you’ve already configured another catch-all mailbox or if the one that you’d like to use has email forwarding activated. In case you decide that you don’t need this feature anymore, you can turn it off by clicking once again on the exact same icon. The Email Manager section will also permit you to view your catch-all mailboxes at a glance.
