Support - Catch-all Mailboxes

A catchall email address is a mailbox to which any email not destined for a specific mailbox will be delivered. So when you get email addressed to clvm@domain.com or peolo@domain.com, they will be delivered to you. We recommend that this is set-up to delete messages for incorrectly addressed emails.

Note: You should make sure that all the aliases (email addresses) you want are already set-up before doing this.

To change your catch-all,

1. Log into the Client Login (http://client.adhost.com).
2. Click on "Email Manager". There you will see where to set up and administer the main pop accounts.
3. At the bottom where it says "Email Aliases" select your domain from the drop-down menu. You will be taken to the alias page.
4. Click 'Modify' next to the catch-all. Set it to NOT send a bounce message and just DELETE the email; make the target 'bit-bucket@mail.adhost.com' (without the quotes). This will resolve many junk mail issues.
