CATCH ALLS

How do I create a catch-all email address?

The following article explains how to create a catch-all email address. A catch-all email address will direct any email messages sent to an email account that does not exist on your domain name to a designated email account. A catch-all email address may be created only by the root user.

To create a catch-all email address, please follow these steps:

  1. Open a browser window and go to one of the following URLs:
    • http://mail.domainname.com
    • http://mail#.safesecureweb.com (this address is provided in the setup email)
  2. Login as root@domainname.com with the password supplied in your setup email.
  3. If the alias does not yet exist, create the alias you wish to use as the catch all. Instructions for creating an email alias can be found here.
  4. From the top menu bar, click Settings.
  5. From the left side bar, expand Domain Settings.
  6. Expand Accounts and click Aliases.
  7. Click Set Catch-All.
  8. Select the alias to be the catch-all.
  9. Click Save.
