A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to invalid addresses under the very same domain. For instance, an email message sent to the mistyped suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com if the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. Thus, you can receive email messages from colleagues or clients who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an outdated one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at some point you may begin receiving spam emails in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be delivered to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting

You’ll be able to create a catch-all e-mailbox without effort in case you have a website hosting account with our company. The Email Manager in our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel is feature-loaded, yet astonishingly easy to use, and it will permit you to enable various features, including the catch-all one, with no more than a couple of mouse clicks. All the email addresses that you have created will be listed alphabetically in this section and next to each of them you will notice a mini "Catch-all" icon. Clicking it once will enable the feature, clicking on it for a second time will disable it. As you can have only one such catch-all mailbox per domain, our system will warn you if you’ve already got another mailbox with this option activated or if you’ve got activated email forwarding.
