Is there a such thing as catch all email?
I currently have info@pixelism.ca set up. But I want to be able to receive any email that goes to ***@pixelism.ca

I remember doing it with my other free account 2 years ago.

Help please.

An e-mail account may be used as a catch-all by configuring the default address so that incoming mail destined for unrecognized e-mail addresses is redirected to the address of the applicable e-mail account.

While logged-in via cPanel, access the following menu paths:
cPanel: Main >> Mail >> Email Accounts
cPanel: Main >> Mail >> Default Address

On the E-mail accounts page, create your desired e-mail account, then, on the Default Address page, select the option labeled "Forward to email address" and enter the address of your newly-created e-mail account.

Please note that by using a "catch-all" this will accept e-mail destined to any unrecognized address at the the account domain involved, including possible Spam that may send to randomly-generated e-mail addresses. To reduce the potential for Spam and abuse, it is recommended to use the Default Address ":fail:" option labeled "Discard with error to sender (at SMTP time)" that returns an appropriate error to the sender such as "No Such User Here" if the e-mail address does not exist on your system.

Thank you for your prompt answer.

However, I do not see “Default Address” under Mail in cPanel.

Hello,

It seems that default addresses are disabled for our free users. My mistake. Alternatively you could use "Forwarders" instead to forward all mail from a specific address to another one. :)
