A catch-all feature that is enabled for a particular mailbox will permit you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not really exist. Otherwise stated, if you deactivate an email address and someone still sends an email to it, or to any misspelled address under the same domain name, you will get the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this feature implies that you won’t miss an email for any reason, which could be crucial in case you run some company, for instance. Since you may begin receiving junk emails, you can combine the catch-all functionality with email filters so as to receive only legitimate emails in your inbox. Only one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Cloud Hosting
In case you’ve got a cloud plan with our company and you wish to enable the catch-all option for a specific email mailbox that you have in the web hosting account, it’ll take literally just one mouse click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to do this. A catch-all button is available to the right of each email address that you have set up under any domain name registered in the account. You can select one single email address per domain name by clicking the corresponding button. This will enable the feature instantly, so all emails sent to mistyped email addresses will be delivered there. Clicking the button for a second time will deactivate the catch-all feature. If you have active email forwarding, our system will display a cautionary message and you will not be able to activate the catch-all feature until you deactivate the forwarding or you can simply pick a different mailbox to be the catch-all one.
Catch-all Emails in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to set up a catch-all address with no more than one click in case you have a semi-dedicated hosting plan with our company and your emails are handled by our cloud web hosting platform. All the addresses that you create with any domain name hosted in the semi-dedicated account will be enumerated in the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section. Each of them will have a mini "Catch-all" icon next to it, so all it will take to enable this option will be to click that icon. In the same way you will be able to turn off the feature, if you no longer need it. Our system will inform you if you are attempting to activate a 2nd catch-all address for a certain domain or in case there’s enabled email forwarding, but it’ll never alter or deactivate any feature automatically and without your consent.
