A "catch-all" email address is where all mail goes that is sent to
someone@yourdomain.com, when 'someone' doesn't exist. For example,
suppose you have the following three email addresses set up:
you@yourdomain.com
sales@yourdomain.com
info@yourdomain.com
Suppose further, that someone sends an email to the address:
information@yourdomain.com
That email would go to the 'catch-all' email address. In other words,
any email sent to a non-existent user/mailbox on your domain is sent to
the catchall.
There is an option on your control panel under mail configuration to
turn off the catch-all address. If an account has not catch-all, then
email sent to non-existent addresses will bounce back to the sender.
