A catch-all email mailbox is one that captures all the emails sent to invalid email addresses. For instance, if your email address is info@domain.com, but somebody mistypes it and sends an email message to inof@domain.com, it will still be received in the catch-all mailbox that you have created. Just one mailbox per domain can have this feature activated and thus you’ll never miss messages because the other side has an out-of-date email address or has made a spelling error. The disadvantage of having a catch-all mailbox is that you may begin receiving a lot of junk email messages, but this problem can be resolved by using an anti-spam protection solution. It’s also vital to remember that a mailbox with an active catch-all feature cannot redirect inbound email messages to a 3rd-party address.
Catch-all Emails in Website Hosting
If you have a Linux website hosting with our company and you want to enable the catch-all functionality for a given mailbox that you have in your web hosting account, it will take literally only a single click in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel to accomplish that. A catch-all button is available to the right of each and every email address that you have set up under any domain hosted in the account. You can select one address per domain name by clicking on the respective button. This will enable the feature straight away, so all email messages sent to mistyped email addresses will be re-sent there. Clicking the button for a second time will deactivate the catch-all feature. In case you’ve got active email forwarding, our system will exhibit a cautionary message and you won’t be able to enable the catch-all feature till you remove the forwarding or you can simply choose some other mailbox to be the catch-all one.
