Default Address (Catch-all Email Address)

The default or catch-all address is the one to which all e-mails, addressed to a non-available or mistakenly entered email account at your domain name are routed to. In case someone sends an email to info@yourdomain.com and you do not have such mailbox, the catch-all option will forward this email to your default email address.

How to set/change a default email address

Step 1: To access the auto responders menu, click on the Default Address icon on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

Step 2: From the drop-down menu select the (sub)domain for which you would like to set up a default address.

Step 3: Now you have several options.

• You can forward all un routed mail to an email address; in this case, you should type in the address in the field.

• You can discard all un routed mail with error to sender; in this case you should type in the message which will be sent to the sender.

• From the Advanced Options you can select to discard all un routed mail or to pipe it to a program.

Step 4: Click [Change] to apply your settings.

Please check the default email from time to time to ensure that it is not filled up with needed/unneeded messages.
