A catch-all feature 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 said, if you deactivate an email address and someone still sends a message to it, or to any mistyped email address under the same domain name, you will receive the message in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason whatsoever, which could be vital in case you are running a business, for instance. Since you may begin receiving unsolicited emails, you can use the catch-all functionality with anti-spam filtering software in order to get only authentic email messages in your inbox. Only 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 Web Hosting
Creating a catch-all e-mailbox will be rather easy if you have a Linux shared web hosting package with our company. You can enable this option through our advanced, albeit easy-to-use Email Manager, which is built into the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you will manage your shared web hosting account. You will find all the mailboxes that you have set up enumerated alphabetically and on the right-hand side of each one there will be a small "Catch-all" icon, which will immediately notify you if a specific mailbox stores all the emails pertaining to a given domain name or not. With one mouse click on the icon you can activate or deactivate this option at any time. In case there’s enabled email forwarding or in case some other mailbox has already been configured as a catch-all one for a given domain, you’ll receive a warning notification from our system. The latter will not disable/replace anything automatically or without your approval.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to set up a catch-all email address with no more than one click in case you have a semi-dedicated hosting with us and your email messages are handled by our cloud hosting platform. All the email addresses that you create with any domain name hosted in the account will be shown in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. Each of them will have a small "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to activate this functionality will be to click that icon. In the exact same manner you’ll be able to disable the feature, in case you don’t need it anymore. Our system will inform you if you’re attempting to activate a second catch-all email address for a certain domain or in case there is active email forwarding, but it’ll never alter or deactivate anything automatically or without your permission.
