Catch-All addressing

Important: This feature has been sunset. Refer to the Rackspace Email to Open-Xchange Migration FAQ

Catch-All addressing is a mail-routing server feature that you can enable and
link to a live mailbox. This feature aims to collect all email that
comes to misspelled or nonexistent mailboxes on your domain.

The administrator should monitor the mailbox linked to the Catch-All server setting regularly
to identify misdirected or legitimate emails.

Important: The system does not filter Catch-All addresses for spam. Use at your own
risk. With this feature enabled, you receive thousands of spam email from
spammers who guess random addresses within your domain.
