How to change your catch-all email address

The catch all email address receives all emails sent to invalid email accounts for your domain. In otherwords, if someone sends an email to "info@yourdomain.com" but you have not actually setup the info account for your domain, the catch all email address would receive this email. While on the surface it looks like a handy tool, our experience is that this feature is really just a spam trap. By default, this is set to fail and it is probably a good idea to leave it that way. However, if you must set this up, follow these steps:

  • Login to cPanel.
  • Click the "Default Address" icon.

  • Click the radio button next to the "Forward to email address" line.
  • Fill in the "Forward to email address" field with the email address you would like to become your catch-all address.
