How do I have my catchall address forwarded to another email?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

With Aplus.Net’s hosting plans, the ‘catchall@domainname.com’ address is preset to receive all of the “misaddressed” email messages sent to your domain. This address will allow you to receive email messages, even if an email box has been closed or if the recipient’s username has been mistyped or misspelled.

There are two ways to access the email sent to your catchall account: by using an email forwarder or by using an email box.

Creating a Catchall Forwarder:

In most cases, you’ll want the mail sent to the catchall account forwarded on to one of your existing mailboxes. To do this, you’ll need to set up an email forwarder named “catchall” under your hosting plan.

1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Web Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Select the Emails link from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Email Forwarders and click on Create Email Forwarder.
4. In the eMail Address text field, enter catchall. Select the domain that you’d like to associate with the catchall from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter the receiver email address the Forward-to Address text field.
6. Finally, click Create.
   

Note: If you have already created a catchall email box, you will have to covert it to an Email Forwarder.
