Setting Up a Catch-All Email Address
Updated 4 July 20262 views1 min read
A catch-all collects email sent to any address at your domain that doesn't exist — so mail to a misspelled address (like "acounts@" instead of "accounts@") still reaches you instead of bouncing.
Setting it up
For a new address:
- Log in to your Tech Temple account, go to Services, select your hosting service, and click Login to Panel.
- Select your website and open the Emails tab.
- Click Add account, and tick the option to make the address a catch-all.
For an existing address:
- Open the Manage page for the mailbox.
- Find the catch-all option and switch it on.
Good to know
- One catch-all per domain — turning it on for one address turns it off anywhere else.
- Expect more spam. Spammers guess addresses (info@, admin@, jobs@…) and a catch-all accepts all of them. Keep an eye on the mailbox and consider tightening its spam settings.
- The catch-all shares the mailbox's storage — if it fills up, mail starts bouncing. See Mailbox Full? Storage Limits Explained.
- If the extra noise outweighs the benefit, switch it off any time from the same place and create real addresses (or aliases) for the ones you care about.
