A catch-all mailbox receives messages sent to invalid addresses under the very same domain name. For example, a message sent to the miswritten suport@domain.com will go to support@domain.com in case the catch-all feature has been enabled for the latter. In this way, you can get emails from buddies or customers who may have sent a message to your email address with a typographical error or to an obsolete one, which they may still have, but you have already disabled. Just one single mailbox per domain name can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be enabled for such a mailbox. This is so because of the fact that at a certain point you may begin receiving spam messages in the catch-all mailbox and the forwarding limitation implies that the spam will not be sent to a 3rd-party mailbox.

Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to set up a catch-all e-mailbox without any difficulty in case you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us. The Email Manager in our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel is feature-loaded, yet incredibly easy to work with, and it will permit you to activate various features, including the catch-all one, with no more than a couple of clicks. All the mailboxes that you have will be displayed alphabetically in this section and on the right-hand side of each one you’ll see a tiny "Catch-all" icon. Clicking it once will enable the feature, clicking it once again will disable it. Since you can have just one such catch-all mailbox per domain, our system will notify you if you’ve already got a different one with this feature activated or if you’ve got activated email forwarding.
