What is the “catch-all” function?
The catch-all function enables you to accept emails whose intended recipient does not exist in your domain. For example, let’s assume you created two POP email accounts (john@mydomain.com and sales@mydomain.com) and one email alias (mary@mydomain.com that redirects to sales@mydomain.com) in SiteControl. If someone sends an email to johndoe@mydomain.com, an account that currently does not exist, then the email will still be received. However, a substantial disadvantage to the catch-all function is that it catches far more spam than legitimate emails. As such, we are starting to phase out the catch-all feature and will eventually remove it entirely, so we suggest that you do not rely on it.
