How to set up a catch-all email account?

Next, we will show you how to configure the Catch All mailbox.

When an email is sent to an @[your-domain] account that does not exist, instead of returning this email to the sender, the mail server can "catch" it and forward it to a real email account. This is very useful to avoid losing those messages when the person who sent them mistyped your email address.

The mailbox that receives this type of "lost" emails is called Catch All or Default Mailbox.

Accessing the Catch All or Default Mailbox tool:

1. Log in to your Client Area and click on Services, then on My Services

1. From the list of hosting plans, access the one you want to configure the Catch All or Default Mailbox for.

1. On the new screen, you will see, in the Actions box on the left, the option to access the cPanel control panel. You will also see, in the Technical Information box in the center, the direct access link to the panel from your browser.

1. Once in the cPanel control panel, go to Default Address under the Email section.

In the default mailbox configuration screen, you can choose different options to redirect received emails to non-existent mailboxes.

These are the configurations:

1. First, you will see the domain selector for which you will set up the Catch All mailbox.

2. Next, you will see the most recommended option for setting up the Catch All mailbox. This option will delete the received email and send the sender a message that you can configure in the text box.

3. The Forward to email address option will forward the received email to a specific mailbox. This option is not recommended as it could generate spam and affect the email sending reputation of your domain.

4. By expanding the Advanced Options, you will see an option called Discard which will simply delete the received message.

5. Once you have configured this tool, save the changes by clicking the Change button.
