A catch-all email mailbox receives messages sent to invalid addresses under the very same domain name. For example, a message sent to the misspelled suport@domain.com will be delivered to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can receive emails from friends or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an out-of-date one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Only one single mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. The latter is due to the fact that at some point you may start receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding restriction implies that the spam will not be sent to a third-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Hosting

In case you host a domain on our cloud platform and you have a shared hosting account, you’ll be able to activate the catch-all functionality for any e-mailbox that you create under the domain name. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section comes with quite a lot of functions, but it’s surprisingly easy to work with, so configuring a catch-all mailbox takes just one single click. All the email addresses that you have set up will be listed in this section in alphabetical order and you will just have to click on the "Catch-all" button associated with the specific address. Our system will notify you if there’s already another catch-all mailbox enabled for that domain name or if the one that you’d like to be a catch-all mailbox has email forwarding activated, so you can either disable the latter feature or choose another mailbox. Deactivating the catch-all option is just as easy and takes one more mouse click on the very same button.
