Catch-All Email Address

Normally, any emails addressed to your domain name to users who do not exist are bounced back to the sender as "message undeliverable." This may be how you want your account set up. However, with the catch-all email feature, any incoming emails addressed to a username does not exist can be forwarded to another email address that you specify. Therefore, if you set up the catch-all email feature, you will receive ALL incoming email, regardless of whom they were sent to.
