Learn how to configure a catch-all email account in Managed WordPress, designed to receive all emails sent to your domain that do not match any existing account or alias.
Create catch-all email account
A catch-all email account serves as a useful tool for domain email management by capturing all messages sent to your domain, including those addressed to non-existent email addresses. This setup ensures that no email sent to your domain is missed. Here’s how to set it up:
-
Select the domain: After logging into your Hosting Platform, choose the domain for which you want to set up a catch-all email address. This is done by selecting the domain name from the drop-down box in the top-left corner of the left menu.
-
Navigate to user management: Click on Edit Users in the domain section of the menu. This will take you to the section where you can manage email accounts for that domain.
-
Choose an email account: Select the email account you wish to designate as the catch-all account. This is done by clicking on the name of the desired email account in the user list.
-
Access email settings: Within the user’s settings, click on Email Settings to modify its properties.
-
Configure catch-all: In the Additional email addresses field, enter
@yourdomain.com
, replacingyourdomain.com
with your actual domain name:
This setting directs all emails sent to your domain, which don’t match other accounts, to this specified account.
- Save the settings: Click Save to apply the changes. This email account is now set as the default (catch-all) for your domain, receiving all undirected emails sent to it.
By following these steps, you can easily set up a catch-all email account in Managed WordPress, ensuring that no emails sent to your domain are bounced due to non-existent accounts.
