What is a catch-all address?

As the name says, a catch-all address is meant to catch all emails sent to any non-existing email accounts on your domain.

It can be useful to catch emails mistakenly sent to an address that doesn't exist. For example, if the sender made a spelling mistake and typed in "daivd@domain.com" instead of "david@domain.com".

Unfortunately, most emails that you catch will be spam. If you decide to use the catch-all feature, we recommend creating a separate account for this on your domain and periodically checking if you have caught any emails you want to keep.


Set up a catch-all address

  1. Log in to the one.com control panel.
  2. Click See more on the Email tile to open Mail Administration.
  3. Click on the Catch-all address tab in the menu bar near the top of the screen.
  4. Type in the email address that should become your catch-all address and click Add.
  5. An email is now sent to the address you added as a catch-all. In the email, click Verify email forward to verify it.

When you have verified the catch-all, every email sent to a non-existing address on your domain will be delivered to your catch-all address from now on.
