What is a 'Catch-All' email address?

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.
