Catch-All-Forwarder
With a Catch-All-Forwarder you can forward any e-mail sent
to a domain, without setting up explicit addressees. A Catch-All-Forwarder
is set up like a normal e-mail-forwarder. Just choose default as the
E-Mail Address.
Incoming e-mails will be processed in the following order:
- Mailboxes
- Specific Forwarders
- Catch-All-Forwarder
Example 1 without a Catch-All:
The following things were configured:
Mailbox: info@your-domain.de
Forwarder: firstname@your-domain.de to info@your-domain.de
- Case: Someone sends an e-mail to info@your-domain.de: The e-mail will
be delivered to the mailbox info@your-domain.de.
- Case: Someone sends an e-mail to firstname@your-domain.de: The e-mail
will be delivered to the mailbox info@your-domain.de because of the
forwarder.
- Case: Someone sends an e-mail to surname@your-domain.de. The e-mail
will be returned to the sender, because it is undeliverable.
Example 2 with a Catch-All:
The following things were configured:
Mailbox: info@your-domain.de
Forwarder: firstname@your-domain.de to info@your-domain.de
Catch-All-Forwarder: default@your-domain.de to info@your-domain.de
- Case: Someone sends an e-mail to info@your-domain.de: The e-mail will
be delivered to the mailbox info@your-domain.de.
- Case: Someone sends an e-mail to firstname@your-domain.de: The e-mail
will be delivered to the mailbox info@your-domain.de because of the
forwarder.
- Case: Someone sends an e-mail to surname@your-domain.de. The e-mail
will be delivered to the mailbox info@your-domain.de because of the
Catch-All-Forwarder.
