What Is A Catch-All Email Account?

A catch-all email account is an address that is specified to receive all messages that are addressed to an incorrect email address for a domain. For example, you have three email addresses set up for coolexample.com; This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , you can set up This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it as a catch-all email account. Then, any email messages sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (or any other invalid email address), are sent to the catch-all account ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

You can set up one email address as a catch-all account per domain name.

Catch-all accounts may receive excessive spam, as *@[domainname.com] is a much bigger target than individual email addresses. If your customer has a catch-all email address and complains about spam to the associated domain name, let them know why they're a bigger target.
