What is a catch-all account?

account catch-all
0

A “catch-all” account takes any emails that are sent to an address @your_domain_name.com that does not already have an Alias/Forwarding or User/POP3 setup, and sends those emails to a specified email address. To create a “catch-all” account, you need to go to have an Alias setup. Then click on the “Set Catch-all” link and choose the Alias that is to be the catch-all. This will NOT work if you attempt to create the catch-all as a “User/POP3” account. We recommend that you create a new Alias called “nobody”. In the “Alias name” field, type “nobody”. Then, enter the email address where you want all unspecified emails to be sent. Now press the “save” button. Note that you can select any alias to be the catch-all account. It does not have to be called “nobody”.

A catch-all account is an account on which incoming e-mails with misspelled or incorrect names will be delivered rather than being returned as undeliverable.
