Creating a catchall address
This guide explains how to retrieve all the email addressed to a domain without declaring an email address every time.
Imagine you use john.smith@domain.xyz but want to receive emails even if the sender gets the address wrong (jon.smis@domain.xyz, johnny@domain.xyz, etc). With a catchall address, a sender getting the address wrong will not receive an error message and you can see the emails by logging in to catchall@domain.xyz.
Creating a "catchall" address
Create a new email address (help) in your Mail hosting.
It should actually be named "catchall" if you wish to receive all the emails for which there is no specific address on your domain.
However, we would advise against creating this account because it also retrieves all the spam and viruses; after a wave of spam, it therefore runs the risk of being completely saturated. It is better for senders to receive an error message warning them that the email address they specified does not exist so that they do not continue to use it as a recipient address.
Moreover, if you configure the "Auto-reply" function for a catchall@ address on your domain, no automatic reply will be sent to the people sending a message to an address which does not exist on the domain.
