Catchall Account
A catch-all is an account that receives messages sent to non-existent
email addresses at your domain name. For example, if someone sends a mail to
mgmt@yourdomainname.com, and the account didn't actually exist, your catch-all
would receive this message. A catch-all email address can ensure that genuine
and possibly important communication intended for you is NEVER missed.
The catch-all account could be configured to:
- Store all incoming messages (mailbox)
- Forward all incoming messages to one or
more email addresses
- Send a customized auto-response
- Bounce all incoming messages
- Silently delete all incoming messages
without a bounce
Follow the process outlined below to configure
the catchall account for emails on your domain name:
1. In the Email management interface, go to
Email Addresses -> Catchall Account.
2. Your catchall account bears the name
default@<your primary domain name> (e.g.
default@mydomain.com, default@domain.net
etc.). For this account, you can either
- Setup a mailbox to store all mail, or
- Forward all mail sent to non-existent
addresses on your domain name to another local or remote email address, or
- Bounce all mail sent to non-existent
addresses on your domain name back to the sender, or
- Silently delete all such email.
3. Select the check-box before the option you
prefer to implement, and provide the necessary details.
4. Once you have completed all the necessary
settings, click on Save Changes.
