A catch-all functionality that is activated for a given mailbox will permit you to receive email messages that are sent to addresses that do not actually exist. Otherwise said, if you remove an email address and someone still sends an email message to it, or to any mistyped email address under the very same domain name, you will receive the email in the catch-all mailbox. Using this functionality implies that you will no longer miss an email for any reason, which could be crucial in case you run a business, for example. Since you may start receiving junk emails, you can combine the catch-all functionality with anti-spam filtering software so as to get only authentic email messages in your inbox. Just one mailbox per domain can be a catch-all one and email forwarding cannot be set up for a catch-all mailbox.
Catch-all Emails in Shared Web Hosting
You will be able to configure a catch-all e-mailbox without any effort if you’ve got a shared web hosting account with us. The Email Manager in our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel is full-featured, yet stunningly easy to work with, and it will allow you to activate different options, including the catch-all one, with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse. All the email addresses that you have set up will be enumerated in alphabetical order in this section and next to each of them you’ll see a mini "Catch-all" symbol. Clicking on it once will activate this feature, clicking it once again will disable it. As you can have just one such catch-all mailbox per domain name, our system will notify you if you’ve already got another mailbox with this feature enabled or if you’ve got active email forwarding.
